If the input to the program is `22`, then the output should be `'twenty-two'`. Your program should complain loudly if given a number outside the blessed range. Some good test cases for this program are: - 0 - 14 - 50 - 98 - -1 - 100 ### Extension If you're on a Mac, shell out to Mac OS X's `say` program to talk out loud. If you're on Linux or Windows, eSpeakNG may be available with the command `espeak`. ## Step 2 Implement breaking a number up into chunks of thousands. So `1234567890` should yield a list like 1, 234, 567, and 890, while the far simpler `1000` should yield just 1 and 0. ## Step 3 Now handle inserting the appropriate scale word between those chunks. So `1234567890` should yield `'1 billion 234 million 567 thousand 890'` The program must also report any values that are out of range. It's fine to stop at "trillion". ## Step 4 Put it all together to get nothing but plain English. `12345` should give `twelve thousand three hundred forty-five`. The program must also report any values that are out of range. ---- Use the instructions above to modify the supplied files: say.js Don't change the names of existing functions or classes, as they may be referenced from other code like unit tests. Only use standard libraries; don't install additional packages. ``` --- Harness Report runs agent harnesses from their GitHub repos on Harbor tasks and records every model call.
