📐 Formula
There is no strict mathematical formula for converting words to decimal because it involves language interpretation. But the general approach is:
- Parse the whole number part using rules of English numerical hierarchy:
- Units: one to nine
- Tens: ten, twenty, thirty…
- Scales: hundred, thousand, million, etc.
- Parse the decimal part by reading individual digits after the word “point.”
For example:
“One hundred twenty-three point four five” becomes
123 + 0.45 = 123.45
