other author does not use hyphens or commas in the words. He ends each
string with a blank. And he neglected to handle zero.
He also is buggy beyond a nonillion-1.
I found yet another implementation that does work up to at least a
decillion, and it agrees with yours throughout (actually, the testing
was done with the same million random probes as what I posted earlier.)
However, he also omits the commas and the hyphens.
An interesting site is:
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Names_to_numbers
which has a bunch of different languages (and programmers) implementing
the same concept. Note that the spec didn't say how the words should be
laid out, and there are many variations in result between the various
implementations. These include not only the hyphens, commas, but also
the use of the word 'and' between some parts of the numbers.
