Technical Guide

The converter uses a recursive algorithm with lookup tables for ones (0-19), tens (20-90), and scale words (thousand, million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion). Numbers are broken into groups of three digits from right to left. Each group is converted independently using the convertChunk function, which handles hundreds, tens, and ones. Groups are combined with their scale word (thousand, million, etc.). Decimal parts are converted digit by digit with "point" separator. Negative numbers are prefixed with "negative". Input numbers with commas are cleaned before parsing. Zero is handled as a special case.
