I understand the Data Types within "Number Words" from learning and
teaching Java.

The planning.md was straight forward. Was my return for each function
correct? Am I to used " " for the string of text.

Within some of your discussions in Discord, you had mention to checkout
using ChatGPT. I wouldn't sign on to ChatGPT because it wanted your
phone number. Instead, I used Bing Chat after signing into my
Microsoft account. Wow!!! I found it interesting with the extensive
explanation of information it provides to solve a problem. I didn't
use it for the answers. AI is very scary if not used in a
responsible manner.

Yes, the numberwords.py had all the answers, but I found it
valuable because of how you wrote out the digit numbers for the "else"
and "return". In do understand this.

The test_numberwords.py file completely passed with the test_cases.

+# Planning Number Words
+
+Before you start programming, do some planning here on how you will break down
+this problem. Here's a hint: if you start by writing functions for smaller numbers, 
+you will find that these functions help you with the larger numbers. For each of
+the cases below, explain how you would turn a number into a string. Feel free to
+write in sentences or in pseudocode (pseudocode is a sort of "casual programming"
+where you're almost writing in code, being pretty specific without worrying about
+syntax. For each case below, assume the integer is zero or more--don't worry about
+negative integers.
+
+## Integers under 10
+(This one is done for you!)
+For an integer less than ten, you need to know the name of each digit, and look it
+up. You could use a big if/else statement like:
+
+```
+if number == 0:
+    return "zero"
+elif number == 1:
+    return "one"
+elif number == 1:
+    return "two"
+```
+
+A cleaner way to do this would be to make a list of digit names, from zero to nine.
+Then you could just look up a digit's name:
+
+```
+digit_names = [
+    "zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", 
+    "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"
+]
+return digit_names[number]
+```
+
+## Integers under 20
+If the integer is under 10, then use the procedure described above. 
+Otherwise, ... (this is where you take over!)
+
+# Define the integer to string
+# Could use if else
+# elif should be returned to "zero" or "Number is greater than or equal to 20."
+# ??Not sure
+
+def int_under_20_to_str(number):
+    if number <20:
+        return str(number)
+    elif number >= 20:
+        return "Number is greater than or equal to 20."
+
+## Integers under 100
+def int_under_100_to_str(number):
+    if number < 100:
+        return str(number)
