How do you find a roman numeral equivalent of an integer

Question

How do you find a roman numeral equivalent of an integer. Is there a java library which provides this capability?

I did find a similar question, but I would prefer a

Answer 1

This is the code I am using, right next to the excel column name converter. Why isnt there an apache library for this stuff?

private static final char[] R = {'ↂ', 'ↁ', 'M', 'D', 'C', 'L', 'X', 'V', 'I'};
// or, as suggested by Andrei Fierbinteanu
// private static final String[] R = {"X\u0305", "V\u0305", "M", "D", "C", "L", "X", "V", "I"};
private static final int MAX = 10000; // value of R[0], must be a power of 10

private static final int[][] DIGITS = {
    {},{0},{0,0},{0,0,0},{0,1},{1},
    {1,0},{1,0,0},{1,0,0,0},{0,2}};

public static String int2roman(int number) {
    if (number < 0 || number >= MAX*4) throw new IllegalArgumentException(
            "int2roman: " + number + " is not between 0 and " + (MAX*4-1));
    if (number == 0) return "N";
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    int i = 0, m = MAX;
    while (number > 0) {
        int[] d = DIGITS[number / m];
        for (int n: d) sb.append(R[i-n]);
        number %= m;
        m /= 10;
        i += 2;
    }
    return sb.toString();
}

Edit:

Now that I look at it again, the loop can be condensed to

    for (int i = 0, m = MAX; m > 0; m /= 10, i += 2) {
        int[] d = DIGITS[(number/m)%10];
        for (int n: d) sb.append(R[i-n]);
    }

making the code even less readable ;-)

Answer 2

Here is a link for many languages including Java. Here's an extract of relevance:

public class RN {

    enum Numeral {
        I(1), IV(4), V(5), IX(9), X(10), XL(40), L(50), XC(90), C(100), CD(400), D(500), CM(900), M(1000);
        int weight;

        Numeral(int weight) {
            this.weight = weight;
        }
    };

    public static String roman(long n) {

        if( n <= 0) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException();
        }

        StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();

        final Numeral[] values = Numeral.values();
        for (int i = values.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            while (n >= values[i].weight) {
                buf.append(values[i]);
                n -= values[i].weight;
            }
        }
        return buf.toString();
    }

    public static void test(long n) {
        System.out.println(n + " = " + roman(n));
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        test(1999);
        test(25);
        test(944);
        test(0);
    }

}

Answer 3

This my answer:

Use this libreries...

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;

The code

  public static String RomanNumerals(int Int) {
    LinkedHashMap<String, Integer> roman_numerals = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
    roman_numerals.put("M", 1000);
    roman_numerals.put("CM", 900);
    roman_numerals.put("D", 500);
    roman_numerals.put("CD", 400);
    roman_numerals.put("C", 100);
    roman_numerals.put("XC", 90);
    roman_numerals.put("L", 50);
    roman_numerals.put("XL", 40);
    roman_numerals.put("X", 10);
    roman_numerals.put("IX", 9);
    roman_numerals.put("V", 5);
    roman_numerals.put("IV", 4);
    roman_numerals.put("I", 1);
    String res = "";
    for(Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry : roman_numerals.entrySet()){
      int matches = Int/entry.getValue();
      res += repeat(entry.getKey(), matches);
      Int = Int % entry.getValue();
    }
    return res;
  }
  public static String repeat(String s, int n) {
    if(s == null) {
        return null;
    }
    final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        sb.append(s);
    }
    return sb.toString();
  }

Testing the code

  for (int i = 1;i<256;i++) {
    System.out.println("i="+i+" -> "+RomanNumerals(i));
  }

The output:
