String To Numbers

Ruby

We want to convert a string into an integer. The strings simply represent the numbers in words.

Examples:

"one" => 1

"twenty" => 20

"two hundred forty-six" => 246

"seven hundred eighty-three thousand nine hundred and nineteen" => 783919

Create a method called parse_int that accepts a sentence.

Additional Notes:

  • The minimum number is "zero" (inclusively)
  • The maximum number, which must be supported is 1 million (inclusively)
  • The "and" in e.g. "one hundred and twenty-four" is optional, in some cases it's present and in others it's not
  • All tested numbers are valid, you don't need to validate them
def parse_int(string) end
