for example, I get a string like "twenty two plus three", then I split the string into a list ["twenty two", "plus", "three"] and I want to get the first and last elements of the list as a number. How?

  • Write a dictionary converting one-twenty to 1:20 (or use a list by index). Then write thirty, forty conversions to 30,40 etc. and figure out the logic for 31 etc. – Chris_Rands May 02 '21 at 21:19

    @davetherock this cannot answer his question, because it's about converting plain numbers with quotes around, but this question is about converting number words to numbers – TheEagle May 02 '21 at 21:21

You can use a library word2number Link: https://pypi.org/project/word2number/

After installing it,

from word2number import w2n
print(w2n.word_to_num('twenty two'))

Output:

22

You can make a dict like this : dico_units = {'one':1, 'two':2 ...} dico_tens = {'ten':10, ...} caution to 11, 12, 13 then check wich number fits :)
