# --description--
|
|
|
|
If the numbers 1 to 5 are written out in words: one, two, three, four, five, then there are 3 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 19 letters used in total.
|
|
|
|
If all the numbers from 1 to given `limit` inclusive were written out in words, how many letters would be used?
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Do not count spaces or hyphens. 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.

# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`numberLetterCounts(5)` should return a number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof numberLetterCounts(5) === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`numberLetterCounts(5)` should return 19.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(numberLetterCounts(5), 19);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`numberLetterCounts(150)` should return 1903.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(numberLetterCounts(150), 1903);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`numberLetterCounts(1000)` should return 21124.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(numberLetterCounts(1000), 21124);
|
|
```
