It's just practice. The length of a program is not always the best thing to judge it by. However, in this case, I would find it hard to justify going over a hundred lines. After all, you could just do this: (generated by code, before anyone asks!)

	public static String convert(int n) {
		if (n == 0) return "zero";
		if (n == 1) return "one";
		if (n == 2) return "two";
		if (n == 3) return "three";
		if (n == 4) return "four";
		if (n == 5) return "five";
		if (n == 6) return "six";
		if (n == 7) return "seven";
		if (n == 8) return "eight";
		if (n == 9) return "nine";
		if (n == 10) return "ten";
		if (n == 11) return "eleven";

@baavagai! Thank you so much! I'll keep in mind everything that you said!

We just finished our preliminary exam so I'm back on working with the code. I understood casio's way now and I'm amazed with what he did I'm trying to solve the exercise differently from casio's style. My program logic restricted me to 999k. lol

Thank you

There sure must be many possible solutions, and I bet mine isn't the best Though it is working and can easily be expanded to quintillion
