1. Problem

Number letter counts

If the numbers 1 to 5 are written out in words: one, two, three, four, five, then there are 3 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 19 letters used in total.

If all the numbers from 1 to 1000 (one thousand) inclusive were written out in words, how many letters would be used?

NOTE: Do not count spaces or hyphens. For example, 342 (three hundred and forty-two) contains 23 letters and 115 (one hundred and fifteen) contains 20 letters. The use of "and" when writing out numbers is in compliance with British usage.

整数英文表达的字母计数

把 1 到 5 写成英文单词分别是:one、two、three、four、five。这些单词一共用了 3 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 19 个字母。

如果把 1 到 1000 都写成英文单词,一共要用多少个字母?

注意: 不计入空格和连字符:例如,(three hundred and forty-two)包含 23 个字母,而(one hundred and fifteen)包含 20 个字母。单词“and”的使用方式遵循英式英语的规则。

2. Solution

没什么好说的:

(defvar eu17-1to19
  ["" "one" "two" "three" "four" "five" "six" "seven" "eight" "nine" "ten"
   "eleven" "twelve" "thirteen" "fourteen" "fiftten" "sixteen" "seventeen" "eighteen" "nineteen"])

(defvar eu17-20to90by10
  ["" "" "twenty" "thirty" "forty" "fifty" "sixty" "seventy" "eighty" "ninety"])

(defun eu17-get1to99 (n)
  (cl-assert (<= 0 n 99))
  (cond
   ((= n 0) 0)
   ((<= 1 n 19) (length (aref eu17-1to19 n)))
   (t
    (let ((d0 (% n 10))
	  (d1 (/ n 10)))
      (if (= d0 0) (length (aref eu17-20to90by10 d1))
	(+ (length (aref eu17-1to19 d0))
	   (length (aref eu17-20to90by10 d1))))))))

(defun eu17-gethundred (n)
  (+ (length (aref eu17-1to19 n))
     (length "hundred")))

(named-let f ((i 1) (sum 0))
  (cond
   ((= i 1000) (+ sum (length "onethousand")))
   (t
    (let ((a (% i 100))
	  (b (/ i 100)))
      (let ((h (if (= b 0) 0
		 (eu17-gethundred b)))
	    (g (eu17-get1to99 a)))
	(if (and (not (zerop a))
		 (not (zerop b)))
	    (f (1+ i) (+ sum g h 3))
	  (f (1+ i) (+ sum g h))))))))
