I'm trying to convert numbers into english words, for example 1234 would become: "one thousand two hundred thirty four".
My Tactic goes like this:
Separate the digits to three and put them on Array (finlOutPut), from right to left.
Convert each group (each cell in the finlOutPut array) of three digits to a word (this what the triConvert function does). If all the three digits are zero convert them to "dontAddBigSuffix"
From Right to left, add thousand, million, billion, etc. If the finlOutPut cell equals "dontAddBigSufix" (because it was only zeroes), don't add the word and set the cell to " " (nothing).
It seems to work pretty well, but I've got some problems with numbers like 190000009, converted to: "one hundred ninety million". Somehow it "forgets" the last numbers when there are a few zeros.
What did I do wrong? Where is the bug? Why does it not work perfectly?
