Hey all, I recieved a question called "String to Int" in an interview, and I was flabberghasted at how simple it sounded at first, but difficult it is in practice.

Turn a string to a number

Example 1:

Input: "Three hundred million"
Output: 300,000,000

Example 2:

Input: "Five Hundred Thousand"
Output: 500,000

I immedietly thought of int to string https://leetcode.com/problems/integer-to-english-words/, but I realized it is much more difficult than that.
Anyone see this question in an interview before ? Im gonna work out a solution today for fun :)
