    Default NumberWords

    Hello, I am trying to create a program that will convert any number from 1 to 999 from its digit representation to its word representation. But I cannot figure out how to display it after the user has entered it. Here is what I have so far:
    /*

    package numberwords1v1;
    import java.io.*;
     
     
    /**
     *
     * 
     */
    public class NumberWords1V1 {
     
        /**
         * @param args the command line arguments
         */
        public static void main (String args []) throws IOException {
     
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in)); //user input
            System.out.println("Numbers to Words (1-999 Edition)");
            System.out.println("================================ ");
            int tryAgain = 1; //will initiate the first do-while loop of the program.
            do {
                System.out.println();
                System.out.println("Input a number (1-999) and this program will repeat it to you with words.");
                double numInput = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); //user inputs number
                System.out.println();
     
                int error = 1; //will initiate error check
     
                do {
                    if (numInput < 1 || numInput > 999) {//if the user enters an invalid number
                        System.out.println("Invalid number.  Enter a number between 1 and 999.");
                        numInput = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); //user must re-enter a number if they entered an invalid one
                        System.out.println();}
                    else {
                        error = 0;} //will end error loop if the number is correct
                } while (error == 1);
     
                System.out.println();
     
                double hundredsDigit = Math.floor(numInput);
                double tensDigit = Math.floor((numInput % 100) / 10);
                double onesDigit = numInput % 10;
     
                System.out.print("Your number in words is: " );
     
                if ((numInput >= 1) && (numInput <= 9)) {//will initiate the ones subroutine
                    ones(onesDigit);}
     
                if ((numInput >= 10) && (numInput <= 19)) {//will initiate the teens subroutine
                    teens(numInput);}
     
                if ((numInput >= 20) && (numInput <= 99)) {//will initiate the tens and ones subroutine
                    tens(tensDigit);
                    System.out.print(" "); //puts a space between the tens and ones 
                    ones(onesDigit);}
     
                if ((numInput >= 100) && (numInput <= 999)) {//will initiate the hundreds, tens and ones subroutine
                    hundreds(hundredsDigit);
                    System.out.print(" "); //puts a space between the hundreds and tens
                    tens(tensDigit);

                    System.out.println();
                    System.out.println("Press 1 to try again.");
                    tryAgain = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); //user decides to try again
                    System.out.println();
     
              } while (tryAgain == 1); //will repeat program if user chooses to enter another number
     
              } //closes main body
     
            public static void hundreds(double hundredsDigit){
     
                } //closes hundreds method
     
            public static void tens(double tensDigit){
     
              } //closes tens method
     
            public static void teens(double numInput){
     
              } //closes teens method    
     
            public static void ones(double onesDigit) {
     
              }//closes ones method
     
     
        }

    You should define what you mean by display it...how do you want to display it? You use System.out.println several times in the code, so I presume you know how to display it that way which makes me confused as to the question

    When I try to run the code in a scanner method, I type the number in but it doesn't show the number in words.

    I'm confused...is your question how you can do this, or why your code doesn't do this? Because you have several empty methods that do nothing
