How can I convert integers into roman numerals?
function romanNumeralGenerator (int) {
}
For example, see the following sample inputs and outputs:
1 = "I"
5 = "V"
10 = "X"
20 = "XX"
3999 = "MMMCMXCIX"
Caveat: Only support numbers between 1 and 3999
There is a nice one here on this blog I found using google:
http://blog.stevenlevithan.com/archives/javascript-roman-numeral-converter
function romanize (num) {
if (isNaN(num))
return NaN;
var digits = String(+num).split(""),
key = ["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM",
"","X","XX","XXX","XL","L","LX","LXX","LXXX","XC",
"","I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"],
roman = "",
i = 3;
while (i--)
roman = (key[+digits.pop() + (i * 10)] || "") + roman;
return Array(+digits.join("") + 1).join("M") + roman;
}
function romanize(num) {
var lookup = {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},roman = '',i;
for ( i in lookup ) {
while ( num >= lookup[i] ) {
roman += i;
num -= lookup[i];
}
}
return roman;
}

I don't understand why everyone's solution is so long and uses multiple for loops.
function convertToRoman(num) {
var roman = {
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 str = '';
for (var i of Object.keys(roman)) {
var q = Math.floor(num / roman[i]);
num -= q * roman[i];
str += i.repeat(q);
}
return str;
}
I've developed the recursive solution below. The function returns one letter and then calls itself to return the next letter. It does it until the number passed to the function is 0 which means that all letters have been found and we can exit the recursion.
var romanMatrix = [
[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']
];
function convertToRoman(num) {
if (num === 0) {
return '';
}
for (var i = 0; i < romanMatrix.length; i++) {
if (num >= romanMatrix[i][0]) {
return romanMatrix[i][1] + convertToRoman(num - romanMatrix[i][0]);
}
}
}
These functions convert any positive whole number to its equivalent Roman Numeral string; and any Roman Numeral to its number.
Number to Roman Numeral:
Number.prototype.toRoman= function () {
var num = Math.floor(this),
val, s= '', i= 0,
v = [1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1],
r = ['M', 'CM', 'D', 'CD', 'C', 'XC', 'L', 'XL', 'X', 'IX', 'V', 'IV', 'I'];
function toBigRoman(n) {
var ret = '', n1 = '', rem = n;
while (rem > 1000) {
var prefix = '', suffix = '', n = rem, s = '' + rem, magnitude = 1;
while (n > 1000) {
n /= 1000;
magnitude *= 1000;
prefix += '(';
suffix += ')';
}
n1 = Math.floor(n);
rem = s - (n1 * magnitude);
ret += prefix + n1.toRoman() + suffix;
}
return ret + rem.toRoman();
}
if (this - num || num < 1) num = 0;
if (num > 3999) return toBigRoman(num);
while (num) {
val = v[i];
while (num >= val) {
num -= val;
s += r[i];
}
++i;
}
return s;
};
Roman Numeral string to Number:
Number.fromRoman = function (roman, accept) {
var s = roman.toUpperCase().replace(/ +/g, ''),
L = s.length, sum = 0, i = 0, next, val,
R = { M: 1000, D: 500, C: 100, L: 50, X: 10, V: 5, I: 1 };
function fromBigRoman(rn) {
var n = 0, x, n1, S, rx =/(\(*)([MDCLXVI]+)/g;
while ((S = rx.exec(rn)) != null) {
x = S[1].length;
n1 = Number.fromRoman(S[2])
if (isNaN(n1)) return NaN;
if (x) n1 *= Math.pow(1000, x);
n += n1;
}
return n;
}
if (/^[MDCLXVI)(]+$/.test(s)) {
if (s.indexOf('(') == 0) return fromBigRoman(s);
while (i < L) {
val = R[s.charAt(i++)];
next = R[s.charAt(i)] || 0;
if (next - val > 0) val *= -1;
sum += val;
}
if (accept || sum.toRoman() === s) return sum;
}
return NaN;
};
I personally think the neatest way (not by any means the fastest) is with recursion.
function convert(num) {
if(num < 1){ return "";}
if(num >= 40){ return "XL" + convert(num - 40);}
if(num >= 10){ return "X" + convert(num - 10);}
if(num >= 9){ return "IX" + convert(num - 9);}
if(num >= 5){ return "V" + convert(num - 5);}
if(num >= 4){ return "IV" + convert(num - 4);}
if(num >= 1){ return "I" + convert(num - 1);}
}
console.log(convert(39));
//Output: XXXIX
This will only support numbers 1-40, but it can easily be extended by following the pattern.
This version does not require any hard coded logic for edge cases such as 4(IV),9(IX),40(XL),900(CM), etc. as the others do.
I have tested this code against a data set from 1-3999 and it works.
TLDR;
This also means this solution can handle numbers greater than the maximum roman scale could (3999).
It appears there is an alternating rule for deciding the next major roman numeral character. Starting with I multiply by 5 to get the next numeral V and then by 2 to get X, then by 5 to get L, and then by 2 to get C, etc to get the next major numeral character in the scale. In this case lets assume "T" gets added to the scale to allow for larger numbers than 3999 which the original roman scale allows. In order to maintain the same algorithm "T" would represent 5000.
I = 1
V = I * 5
X = V * 2
L = X * 5
C = L * 2
D = C * 5
M = D * 2
T = M * 5
This could then allow us to represent numbers from 4000 to 5000; MT = 4000 for example.
Code:
function convertToRoman(num) {
//create key:value pairs
var romanLookup = {M:1000, D:500, C:100, L:50, X:10, V:5, I:1};
var roman = [];
var romanKeys = Object.keys(romanLookup);
var curValue;
var index;
var count = 1;
for(var numeral in romanLookup){
curValue = romanLookup[numeral];
index = romanKeys.indexOf(numeral);
while(num >= curValue){
if(count < 4){
//push up to 3 of the same numeral
roman.push(numeral);
} else {
//else we had to push four, so we need to convert the numerals
//to the next highest denomination "coloring-up in poker speak"
//Note: We need to check previous index because it might be part of the current number.
//Example:(9) would attempt (VIIII) so we would need to remove the V as well as the I's
//otherwise removing just the last three III would be incorrect, because the swap
//would give us (VIX) instead of the correct answer (IX)
if(roman.indexOf(romanKeys[index - 1]) > -1){
//remove the previous numeral we worked with
//and everything after it since we will replace them
roman.splice(roman.indexOf(romanKeys[index - 1]));
//push the current numeral and the one that appeared two iterations ago;
//think (IX) where we skip (V)
roman.push(romanKeys[index], romanKeys[index - 2]);
} else {
//else Example:(4) would attemt (IIII) so remove three I's and replace with a V
//to get the correct answer of (IV)
//remove the last 3 numerals which are all the same
roman.splice(-3);
//push the current numeral and the one that appeared right before it; think (IV)
roman.push(romanKeys[index], romanKeys[index - 1]);
}
}
//reduce our number by the value we already converted to a numeral
num -= curValue;
count++;
}
count = 1;
}
return roman.join("");
}
convertToRoman(36);
I know this is an old question but I'm pretty proud of this solution :) It only handles numbers less than 1000 but could easily be expanded to include however large you'd need by adding on to the 'numeralCodes' 2D array.
var numeralCodes = [["","I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"], // Ones
["","X","XX","XXX", "XL", "L", "LX", "LXX", "LXXX", "XC"], // Tens
["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM"]]; // Hundreds
function convert(num) {
var numeral = "";
var digits = num.toString().split('').reverse();
for (var i=0; i < digits.length; i++){
numeral = numeralCodes[i][parseInt(digits[i])] + numeral;
}
return numeral;

Loops may be more elegant but I find them hard to read. Came up with a more or less hard coded version that's easy on the eyes. As long as you understand the very first line, the rest is a no-brainer.
function romanNumeralGenerator (int) {
let roman = '';
roman += 'M'.repeat(int / 1000); int %= 1000;
roman += 'CM'.repeat(int / 900); int %= 900;
roman += 'D'.repeat(int / 500); int %= 500;
roman += 'CD'.repeat(int / 400); int %= 400;
roman += 'C'.repeat(int / 100); int %= 100;
roman += 'XC'.repeat(int / 90); int %= 90;
roman += 'L'.repeat(int / 50); int %= 50;
roman += 'XL'.repeat(int / 40); int %= 40;
roman += 'X'.repeat(int / 10); int %= 10;
roman += 'IX'.repeat(int / 9); int %= 9;
roman += 'V'.repeat(int / 5); int %= 5;
roman += 'IV'.repeat(int / 4); int %= 4;
roman += 'I'.repeat(int);
return roman;
}
I created two convert functions.
The first function can convert numbers to roman using reduce. And the second function is very similar to the first function, the function uses the same way to convert the value.
Everything that you need to change is the _roman property. Because you have to extend this const with scale what you want, I place there max number 1000 but you can put more.
Larger scale with roman numbers you can find here https://www.tuomas.salste.net/doc/roman/numeri-romani.html
const _roman = { 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 };
// 1903 => MCMIII
function toRoman(number = 0) {
return Object.keys(_roman).reduce((acc, key) => {
while (number >= _roman[key]) {
acc += key;
number -= _roman[key];
}
return acc;
}, '');
}
// MCMIII => 1903
function fromRoman(roman = '') {
return Object.keys(_roman).reduce((acc, key) => {
while (roman.indexOf(key) === 0) {
acc += _roman[key];
roman = roman.substr(key.length);
}
return acc;
}, 0);
}
console.log(toRoman(1903)); // should return 'MCMIII
console.log(fromRoman('MCMIII')); // should return 1903
Here is the solution with recursion, that looks simple:
const toRoman = (num, result = '') => {
const map = {
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,
};
for (const key in map) {
if (num >= map[key]) {
if (num !== 0) {
return toRoman(num - map[key], result + key);
}
}
}
return result;
};
console.log(toRoman(402)); // CDII
console.log(toRoman(3000)); // MMM
console.log(toRoman(93)); // XCIII
console.log(toRoman(4)); // IV

function romanize (num) {
if (!+num)
return false;
var digits = String(+num).split(""),
key = ["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM",

roman = "",
i = 3;
while (i--)
roman = (key[+digits.pop() + (i * 10)] || "") + roman;
return Array(+digits.join("") + 1).join("M") + roman;
}

I created two twin arrays one with arabic numbers the other with the roman characters.
function convert(num) {
var result = '';
var rom = ['M', 'CM', 'D', 'CD', 'C', 'XC', 'L', 'XL', 'X', 'IX', 'V', 'IV', 'I'];
var ara = [1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1];Then I added a cycle which scan the roman elements, adding the biggest still comprised in NUM to RESULT, then we decrease NUM of the same amount.
It is like we map a part of NUM in roman numbers and then we decrease it of the same amount.
for (var x = 0; x < rom.length; x++) {
while (num >= ara[x]) {
result += rom[x];
num -= ara[x];
}
}
return result;
}
This function will convert any number smaller than 3,999,999 to roman. Notice that numbers bigger than 3999 will be inside a label with text-decoration set to overline, this will add the overline that is the correct representation for x1000 when the number is bigger than 3999.
Four million (4,000,000) would be IV with two overlines so, you would need to use some trick to represent that, maybe a DIV with border-top, or some background image with those two overlines... Each overline represents x1000.
function convert(num){
num = parseInt(num);
if (num > 3999999) { alert('Number is too big!'); return false; }
if (num < 1) { alert('Number is too small!'); return false; }
var result = '',
ref = ['M','CM','D','CD','C','XC','L','XL','X','IX','V','IV','I'],
xis = [1000,900,500,400,100,90,50,40,10,9,5,4,1];
if (num <= 3999999 && num >= 4000) {
num += ''; // need to convert to string for .substring()
result = '<label style="text-decoration: overline;">'+convert(num.substring(0,num.length-3))+'</label>';
num = num.substring(num.length-3);
}
for (x = 0; x < ref.length; x++){
while(num >= xis[x]){
result += ref[x];
num -= xis[x];
}
}
return result;
}
If you want to convert a big number with more symbols, maybe this algo could help.
The only premise for symbols is that must be odd and follow the same rule (1, 5, 10, 50,100 ...., 10^(N)/2, 10^(N)).

After testing some of the implementations in this post, I have created a new optimized one in order to execute faster. The time execution is really low comparing with the others, but obviously the code is uglier :). It could be even faster with an indexed array with all the posibilities. Just in case it helps someone.

I didn't see this posted already so here's an interesting solution using only string manipulation:
var numbers = [1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 14, 15, 19, 20, 44, 50, 94, 100, 444, 500, 659, 999, 1000, 1024];
var romanNumeralGenerator = function (number) {
return 'I'
.repeat(number)
.replace(/I{5}/g, 'V')
.replace(/V{2}/g, 'X')
.replace(/X{5}/g, 'L')
.replace(/L{2}/g, 'C')
.replace(/C{5}/g, 'D')
.replace(/D{2}/g, 'M')

.replace(/LX{4}/g, 'XC')
.replace(/X{4}/g, 'XL')
.replace(/VI{4}/g, 'IX')
.replace(/I{4}/g, 'IV')
};
console.log(numbers.map(romanNumeralGenerator))IF this number in HTMLElement (such as span), we recommend to Add HTML attribute data-format :

This function works on the the different character sets in each digit. To add another digit add the roman numeral string the 1 place, 5 place and next 1 place. This is nice because you update it with only knowing the next set of characters used.
function toRoman(n){
var d=0,o="",v,k="IVXLCDM".split("");

o=["",x,x+x,x+x+x,x+y,y,y+x,y+x+x,y+x+x+x,x+z][v]+o;
n=(n-v)/10,d+=2;
}
return o
}
var out = "";
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
out += toRoman(i) + "\n";

};
var popped, rem, roman = '',
keys = Object.keys(romans);
while (num > 0) {
popped = keys.pop();
m = Math.floor(num / popped);
num = num % popped;
console.log('popped:', popped, ' m:', m, ' num:', num, ' roman:', roman);
while (m-- > 0) {
roman += romans[popped];
}
while (num / popped === 0) {
popped = keys.pop();
delete romans[popped];
}
}
return roman;

var result = convertToRoman(3999);
console.log(result);
document.getElementById('roman').innerHTML = 'Roman: ' + result;p {

I just made this at freecodecamp. It can easily be expanded.
function convertToRoman(num) {
var roman ="";

if(num>=values[i]){
if(5<=num && num<=8) num -= 5;
else if(1<=num && num<=3) num -= 1;
else num -= values[i];
roman += literals[i];
i--;
}
}
return roman;
}
Here's a regular expression solution:
function deromanize(roman) {
var r = 0;
// regular expressions to check if valid Roman Number.
if (!/^M*(?:D?C{0,3}|C[MD])(?:L?X{0,3}|X[CL])(?:V?I{0,3}|I[XV])$/.test(roman))

I really liked the solution by jaggedsoft but I couldn't reply because my rep is TOO LOW :( :(
I broke it down to explain it a little bit for those that don't understand it. Hopefully it helps someone.

for ( i in lookup ) {
while ( num >= lookup[i] ) { //while input is BIGGGER than lookup #..1000, 900, 500, etc.
roman += i; //roman is set to whatever i is (M, CM, D, CD...)
num -= lookup[i]; //takes away the first num it hits that is less than the input
//in this case, it found X:10, added X to roman, then took away 10 from input
//input lowered to 26, X added to roman, repeats and chips away at input number
//repeats until num gets down to 0. This triggers 'while' loop to stop.

My solution breaks the number in to an array of strings, adds zeros to each element based on its position relative to the length of the array, converts the new strings with zeros to roman numerals, and then joins them back together. This will only work with numbers up to 3999:
function convertToRoman(num){
var rnumerals = { 1 : 'I', 2 : 'II', 3 : 'III', 4 : 'IV', 5 : 'V', 6 : 'VI', 7 : 'VII',
8 : 'VIII', 9 : 'IX', 10 : 'X', 20 : 'XX', 30 : 'XXX', 40 : 'XL', 50 : 'L',
60 : 'LX', 70 : 'LXX', 80 : 'LXXX', 90 : 'XC', 100 : 'C', 200 : 'CC', 300 : 'CCC',
400 : 'CD', 500 : 'D', 600 : 'DC', 700 : 'DCC', 800 : 'DCCC', 900 : 'CM',
1000: 'M', 2000: 'MM', 3000: 'MMM'};
var zeros, romNum;
var arr = num.toString().split("");
var romArr = [];
for(var i=0; i < arr.length; i++){
zeros = "0".repeat((arr.length - i - 1));
arr[i] = arr[i].concat(zeros);
romArr.push(rnumerals[(arr[i])]);
}
romNum = romArr.join('');
return romNum;
}
If it is just for display purpose, use the standard HTML with a bit of JS for the value (if needed) and CSS to make it inline:
ol.roman-lowercase,
ol.roman-uppercase {
display: inline-flex;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ol.roman-lowercase {
list-style: lower-roman inside;
}
ol.roman-uppercase {
list-style: upper-roman inside;
}<ol class="roman-lowercase"><li value="4"></li></ol> <!-- iv. -->
<ol class="roman-uppercase"><li value="142"></li></ol> <!-- CXLII. -->
function convertToRoman(num) {
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < num.toString().length; i++) {
arr.push(Number(num.toString().substr(i, 1)));
}
var romanArr = [
["I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", "VIII", "IX"],
["X", "XX", "XXX", "XL", "L", "LX", "LXX", "LXXX", "XC"],
["C", "CC", "CCC", "CD", "D", "DC", "DCC", "DCCC", "CM"],
["M"]
];
var roman = arr.reverse().map(function (val, i) {
if (val === 0) {
return "";
}
if (i === 3) {
var r = "";
for (var j = 0; j < val; j++) {
r += romanArr[i][0];
}
return r;
} else {
return romanArr[i][val - 1];
}
});
console.log(roman.reverse().join(""));
return roman.join("");
}
convertToRoman(10);
I feel my solution is much more readable and easy to understand.
var intToRoman = function(num) {
let symbolMap = ['I','V','X','L','C','D','M','P','Q'];
if (num < 1 || num > 9999) {
return null;
}
let i = 0;
let result = '';
while (num) {
let digit = num % 10;
num = parseInt(num / 10);
switch (digit) {
case 1: result = symbolMap[i] + result;
break;
case 2: result = symbolMap[i] + symbolMap[i] + result;
break;
case 3: result = symbolMap[i] + symbolMap[i] + symbolMap[i] + result;
break;
case 4: result = symbolMap[i] + symbolMap[i+1] + result;
break;
case 5: result = symbolMap[i+1] + result;
break;
case 6: result = symbolMap[i+1] + symbolMap[i] + result;
break;
case 7: result = symbolMap[i+1] + symbolMap[i] + symbolMap[i] + result;
break;
case 8: result = symbolMap[i+1] + symbolMap[i] + symbolMap[i] + symbolMap[i] + result;
break;
case 9: result = symbolMap[i] + symbolMap[i+2] + result;
break;
}
i += 2;
}
return result;
};
There is several ways to accomplish this. I personally prefer using objects and iterate through the key-value pairs:
const solution=(n)=>{
const romanLetters ={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};
let romanNumber ='';
let valuesArr = Object.values(romanLetters);
for(let i in valuesArr){
while (n - valuesArr[i] >= 0){
romanNumber+=Object.keys(romanLetters)[i];
n-=valuesArr[i];
}
}
return romanNumber;
}
Here is my code,Hope this helpful:
function convertToRoman(num) {
let numArr = [];//[M,D,C,L,X,V,I]

num %= 500;
numArr.push(parseInt(num / 100));
num %= 100;
numArr.push(parseInt(num / 50));
num %= 50;
numArr.push(parseInt(num / 10));
num %= 10;
numArr.push(parseInt(num / 5));
num %= 5;
numArr.push(num);
//cancat num String
for(let i = 0; i < numArr.length; i++) {
switch(i) {

convertToRoman(3999);
This is my solution with a single loop
function convertToRoman(num) {
var roman = {
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 romanNum = "";
for(key in roman){
var check = num>=roman[key];
if(check){
console.log(romanNum);
romanNum += key;
num-= roman[key];
}
}
return romanNum
}
convertToRoman(150);
This solution runs only one loop and has the minimun object to map numerals to roman letters
function RomantoNumeral(r){
let result = 0,
keys = {M:1000, D:500, C:100, L:50, C:100, L:50, X:10, V:5, I:1},
order = Object.keys(keys),
rom = Array.from(r)
rom.forEach((e, i)=>{
if( i < rom.length -1 && order.indexOf(e) > order.indexOf(rom[i+1])){
result -= keys[e]
} else {
result +=keys[e]
}
})
return result
}
RomantoNumeral('MMDCCCXXXVII') #2837
Here you go.
function check(digit, char1, char2, char3) {
if(digit <=3) {
return char1.repeat(digit)
}if(digit == 4){
return char1+char2
}if(digit == 5) {
return char2
}if (digit > 5 && digit < 9) {
return char2+char1.repeat(digit-5)
}if(digit == 9) {
return char1+char3
}
}
function convertToRoman(num) {
let result;
let numList = String(num).split("").reverse()
result = [check(parseInt(numList[0]), 'I', 'V', 'X'),check(parseInt(numList[1]), 'X', 'L', 'C'),check(parseInt(numList[2]), 'C', 'D', 'M'),'M'.repeat(parseInt(numList[3]))]
return result.reverse().join('');
}
let res = convertToRoman(2);
console.log(res)
Recursive, adding 1 before conversion, and then subtracting 1 after:
const toRoman = (num, i="I", v="V", x="X", l="L", c="C", d="D", m="M") =>
num ? toRoman(num/10|0, x, l, c, d, m, "?", "?", num%=10) +
(i + ["",v,x][++num/5|0] + i.repeat(num%5)).replace(/^(.)(.*)\1/, "$2")
: "";
console.log(toRoman(3999));

Well, it seems as I'm not the only one that got stuck on this challenge at FreeCodeCamp. But I would like to share my code with you anyhow. It's quite performant, almost 10% faster than the top-voted solution here (I haven't tested all the others and I guess mine is not the fastest). But I think it's clean and easy to understand:
function convertToRoman(num) {
// Some error checking first
if (+num > 9999) {
console.error('Error (fn convertToRoman(num)): Can\'t convert numbers greater than 9999. You provided: ' + num);
return false;
}
if (!+num) {
console.error('Error (fn convertToRoman(num)): \'num\' must be a number or number in a string. You provided: ' + num);
return false;
}
// Convert the number into
// an array of the numbers
var arr = String(+num).split('').map((el) => +el );
// Keys to the roman numbers
var keys = {
1: ['', 'I', 'II', 'III', 'IV', 'V', 'VI', 'VII', 'VIII', 'IX'],
2: ['', 'X', 'XX', 'XXX', 'XL', 'L', 'LX', 'LXX', 'LXXX', 'XC'],
3: ['', 'C', 'CC', 'CCC', 'CD', 'D', 'DC', 'DCC', 'DCCC', 'CM'],
4: ['', 'M', 'MM', 'MMM', 'MMMM', 'MMMMM', 'MMMMMM', 'MMMMMMM', 'MMMMMMMM', 'MMMMMMMMM'],
};
// Variables to help building the roman string
var i = arr.length;
var roman = '';
// Iterate over each number in the array and
// build the string with the corresponding
// roman numeral
arr.forEach(function (el) {
roman += keys[i][el];
i--;
});
// Return the string
return roman;
}
It might seem like a limitation that it only can convert numbers up to 9 999. But the fact is that from 10 000 and above a line should be provided above the literals. And that I have not solved yet.
Hope this will help you.
function convertToRoman(num) {
var search = {
"0":["I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"],
"1":["X","XX","XXX","XL","L","LX","LXX","LXXX","XC"],
"2":["C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM"],
"3":["M","MM","MMM","MV^","V^","V^M","V^MM","V^MMM","MX^"],
};
var numArr = num.toString().split("").reverse();
var romanReturn = [];
for(var i=0; i<numArr.length; i++){
romanReturn.unshift(search[i][numArr[i]-1]);
}
return romanReturn.join("");
}
This is my solution, I'm not too sure how well it performs.
function convertToRoman(num) {
var uni = ["","I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"];
var dec = ["","X","XX","XXX","XL","L","LX","LXX","LXXX","XC"];
var cen = ["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM"];
var mil = ["","M","MM","MMM","MMMM","MMMMM","MMMMMM","MMMMMMM","MMMMMMMM","MMMMMMMMMM"];
var res =[];
if(num/1000 > 0)
{
res = res.concat(mil[Math.floor(num/1000)]);
}
if(num/100 > 0)
{
res = res.concat(cen[Math.floor((num%1000)/100)]);
}
if(num/10 >0)
{
res = res.concat(dec[Math.floor(((num%1000)%100)/10)]);
}
res=res.concat(uni[Math.floor(((num%1000)%100)%10)]);
return res.join('');
}
Here is my "as functional as it gets" solution.
var numerals = ["I","V","X","L","C","D","M"],
number = 1453,
digits = Array(~~(Math.log10(number)+1)).fill(number).map((n,i) => Math.trunc(n%Math.pow(10,i+1)/Math.pow(10,i))), // <- [3,5,4,1]
result = digits.reduce((p,c,i) => (c === 0 ? ""
: c < 4 ? numerals[2*i].repeat(c)
: c === 4 ? numerals[2*i] + numerals[2*i+1]
: c < 9 ? numerals[2*i+1] + numerals[2*i].repeat(c-5)
: numerals[2*i] + numerals[2*i+2]) + p,"");
console.log(result);
function toRoman(n) {
var r = '';
for (var c = 0; c < n.length; c++)
r += calcDigit(eval(n.charAt(c)), n.length - c - 1);
return r
}
function Level(i, v, x) {
this.i = i;
this.v = v;
this.x = x
}
levels = [];
levels[0] = new Level('I','V','X');
levels[1] = new Level('X','L','C');
levels[2] = new Level('C','D','M');
function calcDigit(d, l) {
if (l > 2) {
var str = '';
for (var m = 1; m <= d * Math.pow(10, l - 3); m++)
str += 'M';
return str
} else if (d == 1)
return levels[l].i;
else if (d == 2)
return levels[l].i + levels[l].i;
else if (d == 3)
return levels[l].i + levels[l].i + levels[l].i;
else if (d == 4)
return levels[l].i + levels[l].v;
else if (d == 5)
return levels[l].v;
else if (d == 6)
return levels[l].v + levels[l].i;
else if (d == 7)
return levels[l].v + levels[l].i + levels[l].i;
else if (d == 8)
return levels[l].v + levels[l].i + levels[l].i + levels[l].i;
else if (d == 9)
return levels[l].i + levels[l].x;
else
return ''
}
I hate listing every possibility into an array ( which many people chose to solve this puzzle) so I use another function to do that work. Here are my solution:
//a function that convert a single number to roman number, you can choose how to convert it so later you can apply to different part of the number
function romannum(num,rnum1,rnum2,rnum3){
var result = "";
if(num >= 1 && num < 4){
while(num>0){
result += rnum1;
num--;
}
}
else if(num > 5 && num < 9){
result = rnum2;
while(num>5){
result += rnum1;
num--;
}
}
else if(num == 4){
result += rnum1 + rnum2;
}
else if( num == 5){
result += rnum2;
}
else if( num == 9){
result += rnum1+ rnum3;
}
return result;
}
//the main function
function convertToRoman(num) {
num = num.toString().split('');
var length = num.length;
var x = 0;
var result =[];
while((length - x) > 0){
if(length -x === 4){
result.push(romannum(num[x],"M","",""));
}
else if(length -x === 3){
result.push(romannum(num[x],"C","D","M"));
}
else if(length - x === 2){
result.push(romannum(num[x],"X","L","C"));
}
else if(length - x === 1){
result.push(romannum(num[x],"I","V","X"));
}
x++;
}In this code, upper limit of numbers can be extended by adding new letters to letterTable:
letterTable = {
0:{
1:'I',
5:'V',
10:'X'
},
1:{
1:'X',
5:'L',
10:'C'
},
2:{
1:'C',
5:'D',
10:'M'
},
3:{
1:'M',
5:'V', // There should be a dash over this letter
10:'X' // There should be a dash over this letter
},
// you can add new level of letters here
};
function romanLetter(i, j){
romanTable = {
'0':'',
'1':letterTable[i][1],
'2':letterTable[i][1]+letterTable[i][1],
'3':letterTable[i][1]+letterTable[i][1]+letterTable[i][1],
'4':letterTable[i][1]+letterTable[i][5],
'5':letterTable[i][5],
'6':letterTable[i][5]+letterTable[i][1],
'7':letterTable[i][5]+letterTable[i][1]+letterTable[i][1],
'8':letterTable[i][5]+letterTable[i][1]+letterTable[i][1]+letterTable[i][1],
'9':letterTable[i][1]+letterTable[i][10]
};
return romanTable[j];
}
function convertToRoman(num) {
numStr = String(num);
var result = '';
var level = 0;
for (var i=numStr.length-1; i>-1; i--){
result = romanLetter(level, numStr[i]) + result;
level++;
}
return result;
}
While my answer is not as performant as others, my focus was more on not hard coding in base numbers and allowing the program to figure out the rest.
For example...
Instead of:
number = [1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1],
numeral = ['M', 'CM', 'D', 'CD', 'C', 'XC', 'L', 'XL', 'X', 'IX', 'V', 'IV', 'I']
I used:
base = ['I', 'X', 'C', 'M'];
pivot = ['V', 'L', 'D'];
function basicRomanNumerals(num){
let base = ['I', 'X', 'C', 'M'];
let pivot = ['V', 'L', 'D'];
return String(num).split('').reverse().map(function(num, idx){
let distance = +num - 5;
let is1AwayFromNext = Math.abs(+num - 10) === 1;
if(Math.abs(distance)=== 1 || is1AwayFromNext){
if(is1AwayFromNext){
return base[idx]+""+base[idx+1];
}else if ( distance < 0 ){
return base[idx]+""+pivot[idx];
}else{
return pivot[idx]+""+base[idx];
}
}else if(distance === 0){
return pivot[idx];
}else if(distance > 1){
return pivot[idx]+""+base[idx].repeat(+num-5);
}else{
return base[idx].repeat(+num);
}
}).reverse().join('');
I just completed this on freeCodeCamp too, I didn't see this particular solution. I know this solution can be optimized with recursion but I just wanted to throw it out there so at least you can see other options:
function convertToRoman(num) {
var value = [];
var temp, base, buffer;
var letters = ['I', 'V', 'X', 'L', 'C', 'D', 'M'];
var offsets = [
[1, 0], // 1
[2, 0], // 2
[3, 0], // 3
[-1, 1], // 4
[0, 1], // 5
[1, 1], // 6
[2, 1], // 7
[3, 1], // 8
[-2, 2], // 9
];
// cascade through each denomination (1000's, 100's, 10's, 1's) so that each denomination is triggered
// Thousands
if (num >= 1000) {
temp = Math.floor(num / 1000);
buffer = offsets[temp - 1];
base = 6;
value.push(getValue(base, letters, buffer));
num -= temp * 1000;
}
// Hundreds
if (num >= 100) {
temp = Math.floor(num / 100);
buffer = offsets[temp - 1];
base = 4;
value.push(getValue(base, letters, buffer));
num -= temp * 100;
}
// Tens
if (num >= 10) {
temp = Math.floor(num / 10);
buffer = offsets[temp - 1];
base = 2;
value.push(getValue(base, letters, buffer));
num -= temp * 10;
}
// Ones
if (num > 0) {
buffer = offsets[num - 1];
base = 0;
value.push(getValue(base, letters, buffer));
}
// Finish
return value.join('');
}
function getValue(base, letters, buffer) {
var val1 = buffer[0], val2 = buffer[1];
var value = [];
// If val1 is less than 0 then we know it is either a 4 or 9, which has special cases
if (val1 < 0) {
// Push the base index, then push the base plus the val2 offset
value.push(letters[base]);
value.push(letters[base + val2]);
} else {
// Push a letter if val2 is set - meaning we need to offset a number that is equal to or higher than 5
// 5 is basically the only scenario which this will exist
if (val2 > 0) value.push(letters[base + val2]);
// Now add in the next letters of the base for the inciment
for (var i = 0; i < val1; i++) {
value.push(letters[base]);
}
}
return value.join('');
}

I'm pretty sure the companion function means it can have almost limitless potential, assuming you provide the correct symbols for numbers larger than M, but don't quote me on that.
Here's a way of doing it without having to loop through all the different roman numerals and their corresponding numbers. It has a constant time O(1) lookup, saving a little in time complexity.
It breaks down each integer from right to left, so 2,473 becomes 3 + 70 + 400 + 2,000, and then finds the corresponding roman numeral using the romanNumerals hash table, and appends it to the result string. It does this by adding an additional 0 to each integer before the lookup as you move right to left. This solution only works for numbers between 1 and 3,999.
function integerToRoman(int) {
if (int < 1 || int > 3999) {
return -1;
}
var result = '';
var intStr = int.toString();
var romanNumerals = { 1: 'I', 2: 'II', 3: 'III', 4: 'IV', 5: 'V', 6: 'VI', 7: 'VII', 8: 'VIII', 9: 'IX', 10: 'X', 20: 'XX', 30: 'XXX', 40: 'XL', 50: 'L', 60: 'LX', 70: 'LXX', 80: 'LXXX', 90: 'XC', 100: 'C', 200: 'CC', 300: 'CCC', 400: 'CD', 500: 'D', 600: 'DC', 700: 'DCC', 800: 'DCCC', 900: 'CM', 1000: 'M', 2000: 'MM', 3000: 'MMM'};
var digit = '';
for (var i = intStr.length - 1; i >= 0; i-- ) {
if (intStr[i] === '0') {
digit += '0';
continue;
}
var num = intStr[i] + digit;
result = romanNumerals[num] + result;
digit += '0';
}
return result;
}
const romanize = num => {
const romans = {

let roman = '';

const times = Math.trunc(num / romans[key]);
roman += key.repeat(times);
num -= romans[key] * times;
}
return roman;
}
console.log(
romanize(38)
)
Here is my solution:
function convertToRoman(num) {
let romanNum = "";
const strNum = String(num);
const romans = {
1: ["I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", "VIII", "IX"], // ones

3: ["C", "CC", "CCC", "CD", "D", "DC", "DCC", "DCCC", "CM"], // hundreds
4: ["M", "MM", "MMM"] // thousands
};
for (let i = 1; i <= strNum.length; i++)
if (Number(strNum[strNum.length - i]) !== 0)
romanNum = romans[i][strNum[strNum.length - i] - 1] + romanNum;
return romanNum;
}

convertToRoman(36);Having seen all previous 46 solutions for "Number-To-Roman" since this question was asked, there is only one post for the reverse Roman-to-Number by kennebec, and that has several problems: "Number" object cannot be directly extended, you need to use prototype. Also prototyping does not make sense in this context (String object is a better candidate if any). Secondly it is unnecessarily complex and additionally calls toRoman method. Thirdly it fails for numbers greater than 4000. Here is an elegant and and the most concise of all the 47 posts for the both type of conversions. These conversions work for basically any number. The romanToNumber is a small variation of gregoryr's elegant solution:
function numberToRoman(val,rom){ //returns empty string if invalid number
rom=rom||''
if(isNaN(val)||val==0)
return rom;
for(i=0;curval=[1000,900,500,400,100,90,50,40,10,9,5,4,1][i],i<13;i++)
if(val >= curval)
return numberToRoman(val-curval,rom+['M','CM','D','CD','C','XC','L','XL','X','IX','V','IV','I'][i])
}
function romanToNumber(txtRom){//returns NaN if invalid string
txtRom=txtRom.toUpperCase();
if (!/^M*(CM|CD|(D?C{0,3}))?(XC|XL|(L?X{0,3}))?(IX|IV|(V?I{0,3}))?$/.test(txtRom))

just connecting on the answer of Piotr Berebecki. I edited it so that the recursive function does not only subtract 1 from the given number, but it immediately subtracts the highest matched number in the provided array to speed up the process.
// the arrays
var arabicFormat = [1, 4, 5, 9, 10, 40, 50, 90, 100, 400, 500, 900, 1000];
var romanFormat = ['I', 'IV', 'V', 'IX', 'X', 'XL', 'L', 'XC', 'C', 'CD', 'D', 'CM', 'M'];
function convertToRoman(num) {
// the recursion will stop here returning a blank
if (num === 0){
return '';
}
var returnValue = [];
// this is the main For loop of the function
for (var i=0; i < arabicFormat.length; i++){
if (num >= arabicFormat[i]){
// empty the array on every iteration until it gets to the final number
returnValue = [];
// store the current highest matched number in the array
returnValue.push(romanFormat[i]);
}
}
// get the correct resulting format
returnValue = returnValue.join();
// get the highest matched number value
var whatIndex = romanFormat.indexOf(returnValue);
var substractValue = arabicFormat[whatIndex];
// here the recursion happens
return returnValue + convertToRoman(num - substractValue);
}
I tried to do this by mapping an array of the arabic numerals to an array of pairs of roman. The nasty 3-level ternaries could be replaced by if() {} else{} blocks to make it more readable. It works from 1 to 3999 but could be extended:
function romanize(num) {
if(num > 3999 || num < 1) return 'outside range!';
const roman = [ ['M', ''], [ 'C', 'D' ], [ 'X', 'L' ], [ 'I', 'V' ] ];
const arabic = num.toString().padStart(4, '0').split('');
return arabic.map((e, i) => {
return (
e < 9 ? roman[i][1].repeat(Math.floor(e / 5)) : ''
) + (
e % 5 < 4
? roman[i][0].repeat(Math.floor(e % 5))
: e % 5 === 4 && Math.floor(e / 5) === 0
? roman[i][0] + roman[i][1]
: Math.floor(e / 5) === 1
? roman[i][0] + roman[i - 1][0]
: ''
);
}).join('');
}

I'm beginner, and I see like that ))) without arrays . of course it would be better with itter + acc in function.. Just passed test at freeCodeCamp
var romanToInt = function(s) {
var sum = [];
var obj = {"I":1,"V":5,"X":10,"L":50,"C":100,"D":500,"M":1000};
for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){
if(obj[s[i]]>obj[s[i-1]]){
sum[i-1] = (obj[s[i]]-obj[s[i-1]])
}else{
sum[i]=(obj[s[i]])
}
}
return sum.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
};
The above code uses an object to look up the values and calculate accordingly.
var romanToInt = function(s) {
var sum = [];
for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){
if(s[i]=="I"){
sum.push(1);
}else if(s[i]=="V"){
sum.push(5);
}else if(s[i]=="X"){
sum.push(10);
}else if(s[i]=="L"){
sum.push(50);
}else if(s[i]=="C"){
sum.push(100);
}else if(s[i]=="D"){
sum.push(500);
}else if(s[i]=="M"){
sum.push(1000);
}
if(sum[i-1]<sum[i]){
sum[i] = sum[i]-sum[i-1]
sum[i-1] = 0
}else{
sum[i] = sum[i]
}
}
return sum.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0)
};
The code in the above case uses the if/else-if statement to carry out the same operation. This method executes faster and is also memory efficient.
It can be worked out with switch statement also in the following way.
var romanToInt = function(s) {
var sum = [];
for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){
switch(s[i]){
case "I":
sum.push(1);
break;
case "V":
sum.push(5);
break;
case "X":
sum.push(10);
break;
case "L":
sum.push(50);
break;
case "C":
sum.push(100);
break;
case "D":
sum.push(500);
break;
case "M":
sum.push(1000);
break;
}
if(sum[i-1]<sum[i]){
sum[i] = sum[i]-sum[i-1]
sum[i-1] = 0
}else{
sum[i] = sum[i]
}
}
return sum.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0)
};

}Candy from a baby.
At first you have to map romam to cardinal numbers in a object:
const _numbersMap = {
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
}
/* The CM, CD, XC, XL, IX and IV properties are
only needed for the cardinalToRoman() function below. */
Note: If you just need to convert roman to cardinal, so you will don't need the properties with two romans chars in the object above.
Then you build a function to do the magic conversion of cardinal to roman numbers:
// The funciton receives a cardinal as parameter (of integer type)
const cardinalToRoman = num => {
// M is the last char in the roman numeric system. Just preventing crashes.
if (num >= 4000) {
console.log('Number is too big');
return
}
let roman = ''; // The initial roman string
// It iterates over the _numbersMap object's properties
for (var i of Object.keys(_numbersMap)) {
/* For each iteration, it will calculate the division of the
given number by the value of the property beeing iterated. */
var q = Math.floor(num / _numbersMap[i]);
/* So the value, multiplied by the current property's value,
will be subtracted from the given number */
num -= q * _numbersMap[i];
/* The result will be the times that the key of the
current property (its respective roman sting) will be repeated
in the final string */
roman += i.repeat(q);
}
return roman;
};
And finally if you want to make the inverse, then build a function to convert roman to cardinal integers:
// The funciton receives a roman number as parameter (of srting type)
const romanToCardinal = roman => {
let num = 0; // Initial integer number
/* Let's split the roman string in a Array of chars, and then
put it in reverse order */
const romansArray = Array.from(roman).reverse();
// Then let's iterate the array
romansArray.forEach((char, index, array) => {
/* We take the integer number corresponding to the current
and the previous chars in the iteration. */
const currentNumChar = _numbersMap[char];
const prevNumChar = _numbersMap[array[index - 1]];

I feel this solution might help you get a better understanding of the problem
const romanNumeral = function (num) {
let roman = "";
let nums = [1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1];
let romans = [
"M",
"CM",
"D",
"CD",
"C",
"XC",
"L",
"XL",
"X",
"IX",
"V",
"IV",
"I",
];
for (let i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
while (num >= nums[i]) {
roman += romans[i];
num -= nums[i];
}
return roman;
};
In simple way -
function convertToRoman (num) {
const romanList = {
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
}
let roman = "";
Object.keys(romanList).forEach((key, index) => {
let temp = parseInt(num / romanList[key]);
num = num % romanList[key];
roman = roman + key.repeat(temp);
});
return roman;
};
A non-recursive no-loop solution with nested curried functions for fun:
const convert =
(base, sym, next) =>
(num, res = '') =>
next && num
? next(num % base, res + sym.repeat(num / base))
: res + sym.repeat(num);
const roman = convert(1000, 'M',
convert( 900, 'CM',
convert( 500, 'D',
convert( 400, 'CD',
convert( 100, 'C',
convert( 90, 'XC',
convert( 50, 'L',
convert( 40, 'XL',
convert( 10, 'X',
convert( 9, 'IX',
convert( 5, 'V',
convert( 4, 'IV',
convert( 1, 'I')))))))))))));
roman(1999); //> 'MCMXCIX'
How does it work?
We define a convert function that takes a base number (base), its Roman numeral (sym) and an optional next function that we use for the next conversion. It then returns a function that takes a number (num) to convert and an optional string (res) used to accumulate previous conversions.
Example:
const roman =
convert(1000, 'M', (num, res) => console.log(`num=${num}, res=${res}`));
// ^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
// base sym next
roman(3999);
// LOG: num=999, res=MMM
Note that roman is the function returned by convert: it takes a number (num) and an optional string res. It is the same signature as the next function…
This means we can use the function returned by convert as a next function!
const roman =
convert(1000, 'M',
convert(900, 'CM', (num, res) => console.log(`num=${num}, res=${res}`)));
roman(3999);
// LOG: num=99, res=MMMCM
So we can keep nesting convert functions to cover the entire Roman numerals conversion table:
const roman =
convert(1000, 'M',
convert( 900, 'CM',
convert( 500, 'D',
convert( 400, 'CD',
convert( 100, 'C',
convert( 90, 'XC',
convert( 50, 'L',
convert( 40, 'XL',
convert( 10, 'X',
convert( 9, 'IX',
convert( 5, 'V',
convert( 4, 'IV',
convert( 1, 'I')))))))))))));
When next is not defined it means that we reached the end of the conversion table: convert(1, 'I') which is as simple as repeating 'I' n times e.g. 3 -> 'I'.repeat(3) -> 'III'.
The num check is an early exit condition for when there is nothing left to convert e.g. 3000 -> MMM.
didn't see a matrix array being used together with a for and a nested ternary operator, looks fancy but it's barely out of the hard-code zone, hope you like it!.
function rome(num) {
if (num > 3999) {return 'number too large'};
let strNum = JSON.stringify(num).split("");
let number = [];
let romans = [ ['I','IV','V','IX'],
['X','XL','L','XC'],
['C','CD','D','CM'],
['M','','',''] ];
for (let j = strNum.length - 1 ; 0 <= j; j--){
let digit ='';
digit = strNum[j] == 0 ? '' :
strNum[j] <= 3 ?
romans[strNum.length-1-j][0].repeat(Number(strNum[j])) :
strNum[j] == 4 ? romans[strNum.length-1-j][1] :
strNum[j] == 5 ? romans[strNum.length-1-j][2] :
strNum[j] <= 8 ? romans[strNum.length-1-j][2] +
romans[strNum.length-1-j][0].repeat(Number(strNum[j])-5) :
romans[strNum.length-1-j][3] ;
number.unshift(digit);
};
return ''.concat(number.join(''));
}
This is how I solved it. The logic is that roman numbers follow a rule from 1 to 9 and only changes the letters depending of the index of the number.
function convertToRoman(num) {
const roman = {1: 'I', 2: 'II', 3: 'III', 4: 'IV', 5: 'V', 6: 'VI', 7: 'VII', 8: 'VIII', 9: 'IX'}
return num
.toString()
.split('')
.reverse()
.map((n, i) =>
(i == 0) ? roman[n] :
(i == 1 && n != 0) ?
roman[n]
.split('')
.map(a =>
(a == 'I') ? 'X' :
(a == 'V') ? 'L' :
(a == 'X') ? 'C' : '')
.join('') :
(i == 2 && n != 0) ?
roman[n]
.split('')
.map(a =>
(a == 'I') ? 'C' :
(a == 'V') ? 'D' :
(a == 'X') ? 'M' : '')
.join('') :
(i == 3 && n != 0) ?
roman[n]
.split('')
.map(a => a == 'I' ? 'M' : '')
.join('') : '')
.reverse()
.join('')
}
Just wanted to post my first comment on stackoverflow :)
function convertToRoman(num) {
let romanNum = [
[1, 4, 5, 9, 10, 40, 50, 90, 100, 400, 500, 900, 1000, 4000],
[

"IV",
"V",

"XL",
"L",
"XC",
"C",
"CD",

null,
],
];
let romanConv = "";
for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < romanNum[0].length; j++) {
if (num >= romanNum[0][j] && num < romanNum[0][j + 1]) {
let x = parseInt(num / romanNum[0][j]);
romanConv += romanNum[1][j].repeat(x);
num %= romanNum[0][j];
}
}
}
return romanConv;
}
console.log(convertToRoman(3999));I think my answer is a conceptual method for learning and it is clear why this happens
var initialValue = {
I: 1,
V: 5,
X: 10,
L: 50,
C: 100,
D: 500,
M: 1000
};
var romanToInt = function (s) {
let defaultNumber = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
if (s[i] === "I" && s[i + 1] === "V") {
return (defaultNumber += 4);
i++;
} else if (s[i] === "I" && s[i + 1] === "I" && s[i + 2] === "I") {
return (defaultNumber += 3);
i++;
} else if (s[i] === "I" && s[i + 1] === "I") {
return (defaultNumber += 2);
i++;
} else if (s[i] === "I" && s[i + 1] === "X") {
return (defaultNumber += 9);
i++;
} else if (s[i] === "C" && s[i + 1] === "M") {
defaultNumber += 900;
i++;
} else if (s[i] === "X" && s[i + 1] === "C") {
defaultNumber += 90;
i++;
} else if (s[i] === "C" && s[i + 1] === "D") {
defaultNumber += 400;
i++;
} else if (s[i] === "X" && s[i + 1] === "L") {
defaultNumber += 40;
i++;
} else {
defaultNumber += initialValue[s[i]];
}
}
return defaultNumber;
};
romanToInt("MCMXCIV");
So this is my answer to the problem:
const key1 = ["I", "IV", "V", "IX"];
const key2 = ["X", "XL", "L", "XC"];
const key3 = ["C", "CD", "D", "CM"];
const key4 = ["M"];
const keys = [key1, key2, key3, key4];
function convertToRoman(num) {
const numArray = Array.from(String(num)).reverse();
let arr = numArray.map((el, i) => {
let rom = [];
if (el <= 3) {
for (let t = 1; t <= el; t++) {
rom.push(keys[i][0]);
}
} else if (el == 4) {
rom.push(keys[i][1]);
} else if (el >= 5 && el < 9) {
rom.push(keys[i][2]);
if (el > 5) {
let dif = el - 5;
for (let t = 1; t <= dif; t++) {
rom.push(keys[i][0]);
}
}
} else rom.push(keys[i][3]);
return rom.flat().join("");
});
res = arr.reverse().flat().join("");
console.log(res);
return res;
}
convertToRoman(365);
I know that no one really needs another example here, but I wanted to add one that's simple to read and doesn't special-case anything. Instead my code treats every power of 10 in turn, and within each, can go into "debt", to handle the subtractive notation.
// For each power of 10, we break down the number
// and build up the roman numeral characters
function convertToRoman(num) {
let roman = [];
[roman, num] = convertPowerOfTen(roman, num, 1000, "M");
[roman, num] = convertPowerOfTen(roman, num, 100, "C", "D");
[roman, num] = convertPowerOfTen(roman, num, 10, "X", "L");
[roman, num] = convertPowerOfTen(roman, num, 1, "I", "V");
return roman.join("");
}
function convertPowerOfTen(roman, num, multiplier, unitChar, fiveChar) {
// Handle multiple of 5, possibly going into "debt"
if (num >= 4 * multiplier) {
roman.push(fiveChar);
num -= 5 * multiplier;
}
// If in debt, insert unit character before the last one
if (num <= -1) {
roman.splice(-1, 0, unitChar)
num += multiplier;
}
// Insert as many unit characters as needed
while (num >= multiplier * 0.9) {
roman.push(unitChar);
num -= multiplier;
}
return [roman, num];
}
As a noob this was my answer to this question:
function convertToRoman(num, answer = []) {
if (num >= 1000) {
answer.push('M')
return convertToRoman(num - 1000, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 900) {
answer.push('CM')
return convertToRoman(num - 900, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 500) {
answer.push('D')
return convertToRoman(num - 500, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 400) {
answer.push('CD')
return convertToRoman(num - 400, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 100) {
answer.push('C')
return convertToRoman(num - 100, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 90) {
answer.push('XC')
return convertToRoman(num - 90, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 50) {
answer.push('L')
return convertToRoman(num - 50, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 40) {
answer.push('XL')
return convertToRoman(num - 40, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 10) {
answer.push('X')
return convertToRoman(num - 10, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 9) {
answer.push('IX')
return convertToRoman(num - 9, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 5) {
answer.push('V')
return convertToRoman(num - 5, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 4) {
answer.push('IV')
return convertToRoman(num - 4, [...answer])
}
if (num >= 1) {
answer.push('I')
return convertToRoman(num - 1, [...answer])
}
return answer.join('');
}
I came up with this solution:
function toRoman(str) {
const g = [
['', 'I', 'II', 'III', 'IV', 'V', 'VI', 'VII', 'VIII', 'IX'],
['', 'X', 'XX', 'XXX', 'XL', 'L', 'LX', 'LXX', 'LXXX', 'LC'],
['', 'C', 'CC', 'CCC', 'CD', 'D', 'DC', 'DCC', 'DCCC', 'CM'],
['', 'M', 'MM', 'MMM','MMMM','V\u0305','V\u0305M','V\u0305MM','V\u0305MMM','MX\u0305']
]
a = str.toString()
console.assert(a.length < 5, 'Number must be less than 10000 was %o', {a});
return isNaN(a) ? NaN : [...a].map((s, i) => g[a.length - i - 1][s]).join("")
}

Probably the simplest solution:
rome = n => {
b=0
s=''
for(a=5; n; b++,a^=7)
for(o=n%a, n=n/a^0;o--;)
s='IVXLCDM'[o>2?b+n-(n&=-2)+(o=1):b]+s
return s
}
r = [rome(892),rome(3999)];
console.log(r);I can't take credit though. This is vetalperko's solution on CodeSignal.
Use this code:
function convertNumToRoman(num){
const romanLookUp = {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}
let result = ''
// Sort the object values to get them to descending order
Object.keys(romanLookUp).sort((a,b)=>romanLookUp[b]-romanLookUp[a]).forEach((key)=>{
while(num>=romanLookUp[key]){
result+=key;
num-=romanLookUp[key]
}
})
return result;
}
This solution can be used for small numbers (1-23). It can be used e.g. for city districts.
var rom = [[23,'XXIII'],[18,'XVIII'],[22,'XXII'],[17,'XVII'],[13,'XIII'],[ 8,'VIII'],[21,'XXI'],[19,'XIX'],[16,'XVI'],[ 3,'III'],[ 7,'VII'],[14,'XIV'],[12,'XII'],[ 2,'II'],[ 6,'VI'],[ 4,'IV'],[ 9,'IX'],[11,'XI'],[15,'XV'],[20,'XX'],[ 1,'I'],[ 5,'V'],[10,'X']];
var i2r = (x)=> rom.filter(y=>y[0]==x).pop()?.[1];
var r2i = (x)=> rom.map(y=>x.includes(y[1])?y[0]:0).filter(y=>y).shift();
