==Roman numeral, returning an integer==
 
This task askes to take a Roman numeral (as its argument) and return a numeric decimal integer. This assumes that the Roman numeral is an integer. What if the Roman numeral contains (or is) a fraction? I presume then, nothat Roman numerals to be checked won't have fractions. The Romans had a base 12 fractional system. One-twelfth (fraction) is an ounce which we still use in pounds and ounces, where the troy pound contains 12 ounces. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 07:23, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
