Project Euler Problem 17

For this problem I want to use a dictionary

This problem took me way too long time to solve. All because of a mistake I made caused by naming my dictionaries too similarly. When I thought I was adding "hundred_and_text", I really was adding "hundreds_text". What made it really annoying is that I made my code output all the thousand numbers in words, which worked great. For troubleshooting I copied the output into excel and counted the letters in the cells which gave the correct answer, but when I used my code for counting, I missed ~300 letters. Next time I'm planning on doing something like this, I'm going to give dictionaries more distinguishable names.

In this program I also worked in multiple files, i.e. I had my dictionaries in a file called "dicts.py" and my main program in "main.py" (mostly because I could).

Dictionary code:

singulars_text = {  # 36    1: 'one',    2: 'two',    3: 'three',    4: 'four',    5: 'five',    6: 'six',    7: 'seven',    8: 'eight',    9: 'nine',}

ten_to_nineteen_text = {  # 70    1: 'ten',    2: 'eleven',    3: 'twelve',    4: 'thirteen',    5: 'fourteen',    6: 'fifteen',    7: 'sixteen',    8: 'seventeen',    9: 'eighteen',    10: 'nineteen'}

tens_text = {  # 46    2: 'twenty',    3: 'thirty',    4: 'forty',    5: 'fifty',    6: 'sixty',    7: 'seventy',    8: 'eighty',    9: 'ninety'}

hundreds_text = {  # 107    1: 'onehundred',  # onehundred    2: 'twohundred',  # twohundred    3: 'threehundred',  # threehundred    4: 'fourhundred',    5: 'fivehundred',    6: 'sixhundred',    7: 'sevenhundred',    8: 'eighthundred',  # eighthundred    9: 'ninehundred',  # ninehundred}

hundred_and_text = {  # 126    1: 'onehundredand',  # onehundredand    2: 'twohundredand',  # twohundredand    3: 'threehundredand',  # threehundredand    4: 'fourhundredand',  # fourhundredand    5: 'fivehundredand',    6: 'sixhundredand',    7: 'sevenhundredand',    8: 'eighthundredand',    9: 'ninehundredand',}

Program code:

import dicts


def number_counter_text():

    tot = 0
    for k, v in dicts.singulars_text.items():
        # print(dicts.singulars_text[k])        tot += len(dicts.singulars_text[k])

    for k, v in dicts.ten_to_nineteen_text.items():
        # print(dicts.ten_to_nineteen_text[k])        tot += len(dicts.ten_to_nineteen_text[k])

    for k, v in dicts.tens_text.items():
        # print(dicts.tens_text[k])        tot += len(dicts.tens_text[k])
        for a, b in dicts.singulars_text.items():
            # print(dicts.tens_text[k], end="")            # print(dicts.singulars_text[a])            tot += len(dicts.tens_text[k]) + len(dicts.singulars_text[a])

    for k, v in dicts.hundred_and_text.items():
        # print(dicts.hundreds_text[k])        tot += len(dicts.hundreds_text[k])
        for x, y in dicts.hundreds_text.items():
            # print(dicts.hundred_and_text[k], end="")            # print(dicts.singulars_text[x])            tot += len(dicts.hundred_and_text[k]) + len(dicts.singulars_text[x])
        for a, b in dicts.ten_to_nineteen_text.items():
            # print(dicts.hundred_and_text[k], end="")            # print(dicts.ten_to_nineteen_text[a])            tot += len(dicts.hundred_and_text[k]) + len(dicts.ten_to_nineteen_text[a])
        for c, d in dicts.tens_text.items():
            # print(dicts.hundred_and_text[k], end="")            # print(dicts.tens_text[c])            tot += len(dicts.hundred_and_text[k]) + len(dicts.tens_text[c])
            for e, f in dicts.singulars_text.items():
                # print(dicts.hundred_and_text[k], end="")                # print(dicts.tens_text[c], end="")                # print(dicts.singulars_text[e])                tot += len(dicts.hundred_and_text[k]) + len(dicts.tens_text[c]) + len(dicts.singulars_text[e])
    # print("onethousand")    tot += len("onethousand")

    print("----- result -----")
    print(tot)

    pass
number_counter_text()
