When I was in Perth, I visited Hui’s house one day. Lovely, Hui’s daughter (who is about 14) asked Hui how he knew me. Hui told that we both share a passion for Excel and thats how we got to know each other. Then she asked, What is Excel?
At this point, we both tried to explain what Excel is to her in a few ways with no success. Later Hui came up with a brilliant explanation.
He said, Excel has lots of small calculators all interconnected, so that you can do any sort of calculation.
So here is a challenge for you. How would you explain Excel to a small kid (or someone who never heard about it).

As well as the Indian version, perhaps you could look into an English version as against the American version.
Things diverge after one hundred with one hundred one OR one hundred AND one.
I'm sure that it is always AND after n00 or n00,000 where there any of those zeros have a value. So five hundred thousand and sixteen. There could be two and's seven hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred and twenty-six.
Chandoo, you are a genius.
Hi Chandoo,
Please take a look at my NumToWords and NumToDollars formulas that I shared here:
