- Inspired by [this challenge that is also a mathematical English translator](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/283865).
- # Challenge
- Write a program that translates a mathematical expression using English with the following specifications:
- - The expression can only take in numbers, letters from the English alphabet, the equal sign, and the arithmetic operators. No, exponents aren't arithmetic.
- - If the target character(s) is a/are number(s):
- - The number range can only be from `-999` up to `999`.
- - When in the tens place, use the dash (`-`) when there are spaced numberings. For example, `21` is `twenty-one`.
- - When in the hundreds place, add `and` to the string if the tens and/or the ones place aren't empty. For example, `125` is `one hundred and twenty-five`.
- - If the number is negative, use `negative` before the number. For example, `-13` is `negative thirteen`.
- - If the target character is a letter:
- - The input should only take 1 letter.
- - When put on the result, the letter must be capitalized.
- - If the target character is a symbol:
- - `+` is `plus`.
- - `-` is `minus`.
- - `*` is `times`.
- - `/` is `divided by`.
- - `=` is `equals` or `is equal to`.
- - Parentheses shouldn't be inputted.
- - Whitespaces are ignored.
- - Any character that's not part of the specification is ignored.
- - Trailing whitespaces and newlines are allowed.
- - This is <a class="badge is-tag">code-golf</a>, so the shortest program for each language wins!
