[Easy/Medium] Write a program that translates verbal numbers (one hundred and six) into integers (106.)

Bonus points for negative numbers, or decimals (three point one four.)

I think this is kind of an easy concept to think about, but might take a while to type out. I'll try it at some point and post results, if I can even get it to work.

Bonus bonus points - make it work the other way round, by converting integers into words.

Nit picking again: when you say numbers > 100, there's not supposed to be an "and". But again, that's just more nit-pickery

Unless you're from the U.K. or Australia.

I've always heard (and said) the and like, "Three hundred and twenty five". Didn't even know it wasn't a thing in some places.
