Integer To English

/**
 * A utility class to convert integers to their English word representation.
 *
 * <p>The class supports conversion of numbers from 0 to 2,147,483,647
 * (the maximum value of a 32-bit signed integer). It divides the number
 * into groups of three digits (thousands, millions, billions, etc.) and
 * translates each group into words.</p>
 *
 * <h2>Example Usage</h2>
 * <pre>
 *   IntegerToEnglish.integerToEnglishWords(12345);
 *   // Output: "Twelve Thousand Three Hundred Forty Five"
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>This class uses two maps:</p>
 * <ul>
 *   <li>BASE_NUMBERS_MAP: Holds English words for numbers 0-20, multiples of 10 up to 90, and 100.</li>
 *   <li>THOUSAND_POWER_MAP: Maps powers of 1000 (e.g., Thousand, Million, Billion).</li>
 * </ul>
