# numwords
[](https://travis-ci.org/rodaine/numwords) [](https://godoc.org/github.com/rodaine/numwords)
**numwords** is a utility package for Go (golang) that converts natural language numbers
to their actual numeric values. The numbers can be parsed out as strings,
integers, or floats as desired.
```go
func Example() {
s := "I've got three apples and two and a half bananas"
fmt.Println(ParseString(s))
s = "My chili won second place at the county fair"
fmt.Println(ParseString(s))
i, _ := ParseInt("fourteen ninety two")
fmt.Println(i)
f, _ := ParseFloat("eight and three quarters")
fmt.Println(f)
// Output:
// I've got 3 apples and 2.5 bananas
// My chili won 2nd place at the county fair
// 1492
// 8.75
}
```
This package is largely inspired by the excellent [Numerizer Ruby gem](https://github.com/jduff/numerizer).
