The use of the works_with template is interacting badly with the semantic wiki markup, but I'm not sure how to unpick the mess so I'll just flag this up for now. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 08:46, 30 July 2010 (UTC) |

The Java example does not enforce the requirement that the parameter for the conversion function must be a positive integer. Enforcement of such a requirement should result in an error condition, such as an exception, rather than simply no output when a value less than 1 is passed to the function.--Waldorf 21:14, 31 March 2008 (MDT)
- Fixed. --Mwn3d 21:22, 31 March 2008 (MDT)
400
I'm pretty sure CD is 400. If you look at wp:Roman_numerals#Modern_Roman_numerals it shows it. --Mwn3d 21:20, 31 March 2008 (MDT)
Spec?
Roman numerals are by no means standardized. You should reference the particular brand of encoding you wish to support. --IanOsgood 08:53, 1 April 2008 (MDT)

- Project Euler had a similar task, where they addressed possible rules in a FAQ. Wikipedia has also a section on special rules. I guess the safe way is the way all examples so far do it. But maybe specifying it isn't important (I don't know which similarities/dissimilarities between different languages this task should highlight). --Dirkt 15:38, 1 April 2008 (MDT)
Perl problem
The use of the works_with template is interacting badly with the semantic wiki markup, but I'm not sure how to unpick the mess so I'll just flag this up for now. –Donal Fellows 08:46, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
