XSLT Number to String Transformation II

• Download NumberTransformationInHindi - 4.32 KB

Introduction

Just an addition to previous version of this XSLT transformation. It is in Hindi so may be some of the international developers not familier with Hindi language may find it difficult to understand the result. 

Background

People unfamiliar with India’s traditional numbering system may find this challenging. The system used in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh is based on a unique grouping of two decimal places, rather than three decimal places common in the West. During business dealings in India, people are likely to come across the numerical terms Arab, Crore, and Lakh (see table below), although the higher numbers listed are rarely used. These more common words are often used in combination, e.g., one Lakh Crore, which is 1012, or one trillion. The terms Padma and Kharab are sometimes used in Hindi.

Term Figure	No of zeros	Western system (short-scale)
लाख 1,00,000	5	100000 (100 thousand)
करोड़ 1,00,00,000	7	10,000,000 (Ten million)
अरब़ 1,00,00,00,000	9	1,000,000,000 (One billion)
खरब 1,00,00,00,00,000	11	100,000,000,000 (100 billion)
नील 1,00,00,00,00,00,000	13	10,000,000,000,000 (10 trillion)
पद्‌म 1,00,00,00,00,00,00,000	15	1,000,000,000,000,000 (One quadrillion)
शंख 1,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,000	17	100,000,000,000,000,000 (100 quadrillion)
महाशंख 1,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,000	19	10,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10 quintillion)

Using the code

Make your XML document as in the specified format given below. Put a stylesheet reference to your XML and open the XML in a web browser (in this XML, # represents a digit): 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="TransformNumber.xslt" ?>
<numbers>
    <number>#########</number>
    <number>####</number>
    <number>####</number>
    <number>#</number>
    <number>###########</number>
    <number>#####</number>
</numbers>

My vote of 1 pita2000 22:34 2 Jul '09   couldn't make head or tail from this article Sign In·View Thread·PermaLink Should have been better if... Priyank Bolia 21:22 2 Jul '09   Should have been better if you had explained some code, or writing XSL, instead of dumping code. http://www.priyank.co.in/ Sign In·View Thread·PermaLink Re: Should have been better if... Mahendra Kumar Srivastava 1:24 17 Jul '09   Sorry Priyank if i didn't make it clear. Actually I was targeting those developers who find it difficult to translate numbers to strings using XML transformation. Next time when I will do same kind of article will explain it more. However if you go through the XSLT file in sample code you will see that it is well commented and the logic is well explained to achieve this thing.

Priyank Bolia 1:39 17 Jul '09   The fact is codeproject is not sourceforge.net Not many people are interested in your problem or solution, and not everyone have time to go and look into the code. Codeproject is an article website, where you teach some problem and how you arrive at that solution and what you learned in general. Like for this site teaching on writing XSLT would be of help to much larger audience. http://www.priyank.co.in/ Sign In·View Thread·PermaLink
