A math challenge for class asks us to take words (like five seven six three) and change that to an integer (like 5763) to use in a calculation within the program. There are several examples of words2number that take words that spell out a number (like five hundred and sixty five, as if you're writing a check). But I want to take the individual words and place them into their corresponding number.

nine nine five zero = 9950, six three five = 635, etc.

  • I have the dict, but I cannot figure out the logic. when I get the words, how to i iterate the dict and get the numbers out and put them into a single int? – freklz Jan 30 '20 at 21:41

You can use this: 

w_to_n = {'zero':'0', 'one':'1', 'two':'2', 'three':'3', 'four':'4',
     'five':'5', 'six':'6', 'seven':'7', 'eight':'8', 'nine':'9'
}

words ='nine nine five zero'
number = str()
for word in words.split():
    number += w_to_n[word]
int(number)

number:

 9950
