Python Code:
def number_to_words(n):
    Given a number n between 1-1000 inclusive return a list of words for the number.
    n=str(n)
    key = {1:'one', 2:'two', 3:'three', 4:'four', 5:'five', 6:'six', 7:'seven', 8:'eight', 9:'nine', 10:'ten', 11:'eleven', 12:'twelve', 13:'thirteen', 14:'fourteen', 15:'fifteen', 16:'sixteen', 17:'seventeen', 18:'eighteen', 19:'nineteen', 20:'twenty', 30:'thirty', 40:'forty', 50:'fifty', 60:'sixty', 70:'seventy', 80:'eighty', 90:'ninety'}

Explanation: Project Euler: Problem 17
https://projecteuler.net/problem=17
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 1000 (one thousand) 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.
First write a number_to_words(n) function that takes an integer n between 1 and 1000 inclusive and returns a list of words for the number as described above
End of explanation
p = range(1,11)
type(p)
assert number_to_words(1000)=='one thousand'
assert number_to_words(593)=='five hundred and ninety-three'
assert number_to_words(111)=='one hundred and eleven'
assert number_to_words(67)=='sixty-seven'
assert number_to_words(14)=='fourteen'
assert number_to_words(2)=='two'
assert True # use this for grading the number_to_words tests.
Explanation: Now write a set of assert tests for your number_to_words function that verifies that it is working as expected.
End of explanation
l="I am a-string"
len(''.join(l.split()))
def count_letters(n):
    Count the number of letters used to write out the words for 1-n inclusive.
    phi = number_to_words(n)
    count = len(''.join(phi.split()))
    for i in range(len(phi)):
        if phi[i]=='-':
            count -= 1
    return count
Explanation: Now define a count_letters(n) that returns the number of letters used to write out the words for all of the the numbers 1 to n inclusive.
End of explanation
assert count_letters(1000)==11
assert count_letters(342)==23
assert count_letters(115)==20
assert count_letters(21)==9
assert True # use this for grading the count_letters tests.
Explanation: Now write a set of assert tests for your count_letters function that verifies that it is working as expected.
End of explanation
total=0
for i in range(1,1001):
    total += count_letters(i)
total
assert True # use this for gradig the answer to the original question.
Explanation: Finally used your count_letters function to solve the original question.
