Roman numerals
From Rosetta Code
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Create a function taking a positive integer as its parameter and returning a string containing the Roman Numeral representation of that integer.
Modern Roman numerals are written by expressing each digit separately starting with the left most digit and skipping any digit with a value of zero. In Roman numerals 1990 is rendered: 1000=M, 900=CM, 90=XC; resulting in MCMXC. 2008 is written as 2000=MM, 8=VIII; or MMVIII. 1666 uses each Roman symbol in descending order: MDCLXVI.

function arabic2roman(num:Number):String {
var lookup:Object = {M:1000, CM:900, D:500, CD:400, C:100, XC:90, L:50, XL:40, X:10, IX:9, V:5, IV:4, I:1};
var roman:String = "", i:String;
for (i in lookup) {
while (num >= lookup[i]) {
roman += i;
num -= lookup[i];
}
}
return roman;
}
trace("1990 in roman is " + arabic2roman(1990));
trace("2008 in roman is " + arabic2roman(2008));
trace("1666 in roman is " + arabic2roman(1666));
Output:
1990 in roman is MCMXC 2008 in roman is MMVIII 1666 in roman is MDCLXVI
And the reverse:
function roman2arabic(roman:String):Number {
var romanArr:Array = roman.toUpperCase().split('');
var lookup:Object = {I:1, V:5, X:10, L:50, C:100, D:500, M:1000};
var num:Number = 0, val:Number = 0;
while (romanArr.length) {
val = lookup[romanArr.shift()];
num += val * (val < lookup[romanArr[0]] ? -1 : 1);
}
return num;
}
trace("MCMXC in arabic is " + roman2arabic("MCMXC"));
trace("MMVIII in arabic is " + roman2arabic("MMVIII"));
trace("MDCLXVI in arabic is " + roman2arabic("MDCLXVI"));
Output:
MCMXC in arabic is 1990 MMVIII in arabic is 2008 MDCLXVI in arabic is 1666

[edit] R
R has a built-in function, as.roman, for conversion to roman numerals. The implementation details are found in utils:::.numeric2roman (see previous link), and utils:::.roman2numeric, for conversion back to arabic decimals.
as.roman(1666) # MDCLXVI

[edit] Ruby
Roman numeral generation was used as an example for demonstrating Test Driven Development in Ruby. The solution came to be:
Symbols = { 1=>'I', 5=>'V', 10=>'X', 50=>'L', 100=>'C', 500=>'D', 1000=>'M' }
Subtractors = [ [1000, 100], [500, 100], [100, 10], [50, 10], [10, 1], [5, 1], [1, 0] ]
def roman(num)
return Symbols[num] if Symbols.has_key?(num)
Subtractors.each do |cutPoint, subtractor|
return roman(cutPoint) + roman(num - cutPoint) if num > cutPoint
return roman(subtractor) + roman(num + subtractor) if num >= cutPoint - subtractor and num < cutPoint
end
end
[edit] Scala
Works with: Scala version 2.8
val romanDigits = Map(
1 -> "I", 5 -> "V",
10 -> "X", 50 -> "L",
100 -> "C", 500 -> "D",
1000 -> "M",
4 -> "IV", 9 -> "IX",
40 -> "XL", 90 -> "XC",
400 -> "CD", 900 -> "CM")
val romanDigitsKeys = romanDigits.keysIterator.toList sortBy (x => -x)
def toRoman(n: Int): String = romanDigitsKeys find (_ >= n) match {
case Some(key) => romanDigits(key) + toRoman(n - key)
case None => ""
}
Sample:
scala> List(1990, 2008, 1666) map toRoman res55: List[String] = List(MCMXC, MMVIII, MDCLXVI)
[edit] Scheme
This uses format directives supported in Chez Scheme since v6.9b; YMMV.
(define (to-roman n)
(format "~@r" n))
[edit] Tcl
proc to_roman {i} {
set map {1000 M 900 CM 500 D 400 CD 100 C 90 XC 50 L 40 XL 10 X 9 IX 5 V 4 IV 1 I}
foreach {value roman} $map {
while {$i >= $value} {
append res $roman
incr i -$value
}
}
return $res

[edit] SNOBOL4
Adapted from Catspaw SNOBOL Tutorial, Chapter 6
* ROMAN(N) - Convert integer N to Roman numeral form.
*
* N must be positive and less than 4000.
*
* An asterisk appears in the result if N >= 4000.
*
* The function fails if N is not an integer.
DEFINE('ROMAN(N)UNITS') :(ROMAN_END)
* Get rightmost digit to UNITS and remove it from N.
* Return null result if argument is null.
ROMAN N RPOS(1) LEN(1) . UNITS = :F(RETURN)
* Search for digit, replace with its Roman form.
* Return failing if not a digit.
'0,1I,2II,3III,4IV,5V,6VI,7VII,8VIII,9IX,' UNITS
+ BREAK(',') . UNITS :F(FRETURN)
* Convert rest of N and multiply by 10. Propagate a
* failure return from recursive call back to caller.
ROMAN = REPLACE(ROMAN(N), 'IVXLCDM', 'XLCDM**')
+ UNITS :S(RETURN) F(FRETURN)
ROMAN_END
* Testing
OUTPUT = "1999 = " ROMAN(1999)
OUTPUT = " 24 = " ROMAN(24)
OUTPUT = " 944 = " ROMAN(944)
END
Outputs:
1999 = MCMXCIX 24 = XXIV 944 = CMXLIV
Here's a non-recursive version, and a Roman-to-Arabic converter to boot.
* # Arabic to Roman
define('roman(n)s,ch,val,str') :(roman_end)
roman roman = ge(n,4000) n :s(return)
s = 'M1000 CM900 D500 CD400 C100 XC90 L50 XL40 X10 IX9 V5 IV4 I1 '
rom1 s span(&ucase) . ch break(' ') . val span(' ') = :f(rom2)
str = str dupl(ch,(n / val))
n = remdr(n,val) :(rom1)
rom2 roman = str :(return)
roman_end
* # Roman to Arabic
define('arabic(n)s,ch,val,sum,x') :(arabic_end)
arabic s = 'M1000 D500 C100 L50 X10 V5 I1 '
n = reverse(n)
arab1 n len(1) . ch = :f(arab2)
s ch break(' ') . val
val = lt(val,x) (-1 * val)
sum = sum + val; x = val :(arab1)
arab2 arabic = sum :(return)
arabic_end
* # Test and display
tstr = '2010 1999 1492 1066 476 '
tloop tstr break(' ') . year span(' ') = :f(out)
r = roman(year)
rstr = rstr year '=' r ' '
astr = astr r '=' arabic(r) ' ' :(tloop)
out output = rstr; output = astr
end
Output:
2010=MMX 1999=MCMXCIX 1492=MCDXCII 1066=MLXVI 476=CDLXXVI MMX=2010 MCMXCIX=1999 MCDXCII=1492 MLXVI=1066 CDLXXVI=476
[edit] Ursala
The algorithm is to implement the subtractive principle by string substitution only after constucting the numeral from successive remainders. The order among the substitutions matters. For example, occurrences of DCCCC must be replaced by CM before any occurrences of CCCC are replaced by CD. The substitution operator (%=) is helpful here.
#import nat
roman =

'IIII'%='IV'+ 'VIIII'%='IX'+ 'XXXX'%='XL'+ 'LXXXX'%='XC'+ 'CCCC'%='CD'+ 'DCCCC'%='CM',
~&plrDlSPSL/'MDCLXVI'+ iota*+ +^|(^|C/~&,\/division)@rlX=>~&iNC <1000,500,100,50,10,5>+-
This test program applies the function to each member of a list of numbers.
#show+
test = roman* <1990,2008,1,2,64,124,1666,10001>
output:
