Number to Words convertor
A CLI app to convert a number into words using Indian numbering system.
This programme was developed during my college days in 2006 using Turbo C++ as a module of my final year project. The motivation behind this project is to create plugable utility tool for another project.
You can build this program as an executable file or a WebAssembly binary (WASI). Since WASI binary is cross-platform, so we'll go with that.
To build this program as a WASI (WebAssembly System Interface), you need to have the WASI SDK installed on your system. The WASI SDK is a collection of tools and libraries that enable you to compile and run WebAssembly programs on different platforms. You can follow the instructions from wasi-sdk-setup to set up the WASI SDK.
To compile the source code file num2wrd.cpp into a WebAssembly binary file num2wrd.wasm, open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command:
wasi clang++ num2wrd.cpp -o num2wrd.wasmThis will create a file named num2wrd.wasm in the same directory as the source code file.
To execute this program as a WASI, you need to have wasmtime installed on your system. You can download it from here.
To run the WebAssembly binary file num2wrd.wasm, open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command:
wasmtime num2wrd.wasmIt will ask you to enter a number. Then it converts the number into words and show the result on the screen. Enjoy! 😊
