Write out in words
Writes an integer in Brazilian Portuguese cardinal words ("por extenso"): for example, 1235 is "mil duzentos e trinta e cinco".
- Accepts integers from -999 999 999 999 999 to 999 999 999 999 999. The function truncates a non-integer toward zero and puts "menos" before a negative number.
options.gender("masculine"by default, or"feminine") agrees "um/uma", "dois/duas" and the hundreds ("duzentos/duzentas") with the noun the number qualifies.- The last group takes an "e" before it only when it is below 100 or a round hundred: 1200 is "mil e duzentos" and 1100 is "mil e cem", while 1235 is "mil duzentos e trinta e cinco" and 1101 is "mil cento e um".
- Returns an empty string for a value outside that range, not finite, or not a number.
- Zero is "zero", and so is any value that truncates to 0 (
-0.5, never "menos zero"). The result is always lower case. - With
"feminine", only the thousands group and the last group change (2000 is "duas mil", 21 is "vinte e uma"). The multiplier of "milhão", "bilhão" and "trilhão" stays masculine (2 000 000 is "dois milhões").
