Wrong decimal conversion about number-to-words HOT 3 CLOSED

having the same issue with random numbers and .55, sometimes it gives me 'fifty-four' instead of 'fifty-five'

from number-to-words.

Hi @tmtisfree and @eriqamiqo

Thank you for the issue report and sorry for a late reply. I'm worried that it's not a problem with number-to-words library, but rather with the way you store and multiply float values before you pass them to the currencyTransformer->toWords() method.

The toWords() method expects the value to be an integer. The issue you describe is a typical problem with floating point numbers representation. Could you please try to debug your code and ensure you pass the correct integer (with the correct type) to the toWords() method?

I opened a pull request to demonstrate that the numbers you highlighted are transcribed correctly: https://github.com/kwn/number-to-words/pull/116/files

Also please take a look at the above docs:

• https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php (especially the "Warning" section)
• https://floating-point-gui.de/

from number-to-words.

Hello,

You were right, just rounding the number (as per the first comment of your link) resolves the 'issue'.

Thank you!
