# Description
# Instructions

Given a number from 0 to 999,999,999,999, spell out that number in English.
Given a number, your task is to express it in English words exactly as your friend should say it out loud.
Yaʻqūb expects to use numbers from 0 up to 999,999,999,999.

## Step 1
Examples:

Handle the basic case of 0 through 99.

If the input to the program is `22`, then the output should be `'twenty-two'`.

Your program should complain loudly if given a number outside the blessed range.

Some good test cases for this program are:

- 0
- 14
- 50
- 98
- -1
- 100

### Extension

If you're on a Mac, shell out to Mac OS X's `say` program to talk out loud.
If you're on Linux or Windows, eSpeakNG may be available with the command `espeak`.

## Step 2

Implement breaking a number up into chunks of thousands.

So `1234567890` should yield a list like 1, 234, 567, and 890, while the far simpler `1000` should yield just 1 and 0.

The program must also report any values that are out of range.

## Step 3

Now handle inserting the appropriate scale word between those chunks.

So `1234567890` should yield `'1 billion 234 million 567 thousand 890'`

The program must also report any values that are out of range.
It's fine to stop at "trillion".

## Step 4

Put it all together to get nothing but plain English.

`12345` should give `twelve thousand three hundred forty-five`.

The program must also report any values that are out of range.
- 0 → zero
- 1 → one
- 12 → twelve
- 123 → one hundred twenty-three
- 1,234 → one thousand two hundred thirty-four

# Introduction

Your friend Yaʻqūb works the counter at the busiest deli in town, slicing, weighing, and wrapping orders for a never-ending line of hungry customers.
To keep things moving, each customer takes a numbered ticket when they arrive.

When it’s time to call the next person, Yaʻqūb reads their number out loud, always in full English words to make sure everyone hears it clearly.

/*
* By adding type hints and enabling strict type checking, code can become
* easier to read, self-documenting and reduce the number of potential bugs.
* By default, type declarations are non-strict, which means they will attempt
* to change the original type to match the type specified by the
* type-declaration.
*
* In other words, if you pass a string to a function requiring a float,
* it will attempt to convert the string value to a float.
*
* To enable strict mode, a single declare directive must be placed at the top
* of the file.
* This means that the strictness of typing is configured on a per-file basis.
* This directive not only affects the type declarations of parameters, but also
* a function's return type.
*
* For more info review the Concept on strict type checking in the PHP track
* <link>.
*
* To disable strict typing, comment out the directive below.
