private final String[] LESS_THAN_20 = {"", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen", "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen"};
private final String[] TENS = {"", "Ten", "Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty", "Fifty", "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety"};
private final String[] THOUSANDS = {"", "Thousand", "Million", "Billion"};

class Solution {
    public String numberToWords(int num) {
        if (num == 0) return "Zero";
        
        int i = 0;

                words = helper(num % 1000) + THOUSANDS[i] + " " + words;
            num /= 1000;
