Need help with this code and am stuck - TheBoonester - Sep-19-2019
nums = {1:"One", 2:"Two", 3:"Three" ,4:"Four", 5:"Five", 6:"Six", 7:"Seven", 8:"Eight",\
9:"Nine", 0:"Zero", 10:"Ten", 11:"Eleven", 12:"Tweleve" , 13:"Thirteen", 14:"Fourteen", \
15: "Fifteen", 16:"Sixteen", 17:"Seventeen", 18:"Eighteen", 19:"Nineteen", 20:"Twenty", 30:"Thirty", 40:"Forty", 50:"Fifty",\
60:"Sixty", 70:"Seventy", 80:"Eighty", 90:"Ninety"}
num = input("Enter a number: ")
# to convert two digit number into words
if 0 <= num < 100:
a = num / 10
b = num % 10
if a == 1:
print (nums[num])
else:
a *= 10
print (nums[a], nums[b])If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please let me know :)this is also the error I get when starting the program:
builtins.TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'

input() function will return a string which you have entered. So even if you enter number 5, it will be stored as a string variable, not an int. That is why in this line:
if 0 <= num < 100:you compare integers to a string (num). For this code to work, you need to first convert the number from string to integer type:
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

If you are allowed to use 3rd party modules, you could try num2words module.
And if this SO answer inspired you, I would advise you to first approach the task with your own creativity and test out different ideas.
