[Golang] Convert Numbers to Words From 1 to 1000


Problem: [1]

Write out all the numbers from 1 to 1000 (one thousand) inclusive in words. For example, 342 (three hundred and forty-two) contains 23 letters and 115 (one hundred and fifteen) contains 20 letters. The use of "and" when writing out numbers is in compliance with British usage.

Solution:
