Okay, so a few month ago there was A few of these posted. It allows folk to see how each programmer can have completely different code that does the same thing & also how different/similar different languages are.
So the aim of this is to code a short algorithm that converts a phone number to its string value. For example 982135613 would be converted to "Nine, Eight, Two, One, Three, Five, Six, One, Three".
The code must do this:
Get the input.
Validate the input (Make sure each character is a number)
Convert the numbers to strings.
Output the full number converted to a string value.
When posting your code post the code & a picture of the code working & the language it was coded in. Use the number "092837465" in your screenshot
Here is mine -
Language - Visual Basic.

Please try comment your work! I'm hoping this is popular and will help get this section a little more active!

Imports System.Console
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim PhoneNum As String = ""
Write("Please enter the phone number - ")
PhoneNum = ReadLine()
Write(ConvertPhoneNumToString(PhoneNum))
ReadKey()
End Sub
Private Function ConvertPhoneNumToString(ByVal num As String) As String
'First make sure that it is a number & not a text value
If Not IsNumeric(num) Then Return "Error - Please only insert text."
'Break the string value into characters & save
Dim CharNums() As Char = num.ToCharArray
'Declare a Variable that will contain the final Value
Dim OutputString As String = ""
'Do the converting
For i = 0 To num.Length - 1
If CharNums(i) = "0" Then OutputString += "Zero, "
If CharNums(i) = "1" Then OutputString += "One, "
If CharNums(i) = "2" Then OutputString += "Two, "
If CharNums(i) = "3" Then OutputString += "Three, "
If CharNums(i) = "4" Then OutputString += "Four, "
If CharNums(i) = "5" Then OutputString += "Five, "
If CharNums(i) = "6" Then OutputString += "Six, "
If CharNums(i) = "7" Then OutputString += "Seven, "
If CharNums(i) = "8" Then OutputString += "Eight, "
If CharNums(i) = "9" Then OutputString += "Nine, "
Next
Return OutputString
End Function
End Module
