Actually , they mentioned that think of it as you have a file that contains hundred thousand strings . If I go by If else statements. It will not be an efficient method. – tweety_03 Dec 18 '14 at 21:04

I think you misunderstood the interviewer's question. He meant getting the number that is currently in a string, not getting the number that is currently spelled out in a string.
