I have a transfer with products that unfortunately has to get matched by product name. The biggest issue here is I might get duplicate products on account of roman numbers. Sometimes the same product will be named with a roman number, other times it will be a regular one.
I was googling for maybe a already made string function to convert this, but had no luck. I guess it wouldn't be that hard to make my own, but I would love to hear some opinions on how to handle the situation, and also if you know an already made function that does this, name it.
EDIT: The products are mobile gadgets. Example - Samsung Galaxy SII - Samsung Galaxy S2
I've noticed some really complicated solutions here but this is a really simple problem. I made a solution that avoided the need to hard code the "exceptions" (IV, IX, XL, etc). I used a for loop to look ahead at the next character in the Roman numeral string to see if the number associated with the numeral should be subtracted or added to the total. For simplicity's sake I'm assuming all input is valid.
private static Dictionary<char, int> RomanMap = new Dictionary<char, int>()
{
{'I', 1},
{'V', 5},
{'X', 10},
{'L', 50},
{'C', 100},
{'D', 500},
{'M', 1000}
};
public static int RomanToInteger(string roman)
{
int number = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < roman.Length; i++)
{
if (i + 1 < roman.Length && RomanMap[roman[i]] < RomanMap[roman[i + 1]])
{
number -= RomanMap[roman[i]];
}
else
{
number += RomanMap[roman[i]];
}
}
return number;
}
I initially tried using a foreach on the string which I think was a slightly more readable solution but I ended up adding every single number and subtracting it twice later if it turned out to be one of the exceptions, which I didn't like. I'll post it here anyway for posterity.
public static int RomanToInteger(string roman)
{
int number = 0;
char previousChar = roman[0];
foreach(char currentChar in roman)
{
number += RomanMap[currentChar];
if(RomanMap[previousChar] < RomanMap[currentChar])
{
number -= RomanMap[previousChar] * 2;
}
previousChar = currentChar;
}
return number;
}
A more simple and readable C# implementation that:
- maps I to 1, V to 5, X to 10, L to 50, C to 100, D to 500, M to 1000.
- uses one single foreach loop (foreach used on purpose, with previous value hold).
- adds the mapped number to the total.
- subtracts twice the number added before, if I before V or X, X before L or C, C before D or M (not all chars are allowed here!).
- returns 0 (not used in Roman numerals) on empty string, wrong letter or not allowed char used for subtraction.
- remark: it's still not totally complete, we didn't check all possible conditions for a valid input string!
Code:
private static Dictionary<char, int> _romanMap = new Dictionary<char, int>
{
{'I', 1}, {'V', 5}, {'X', 10}, {'L', 50}, {'C', 100}, {'D', 500}, {'M', 1000}
};
public static int ConvertRomanToNumber(string text)
{
int totalValue = 0, prevValue = 0;
foreach (var c in text)
{
if (!_romanMap.ContainsKey(c))
return 0;
var crtValue = _romanMap[c];
totalValue += crtValue;
if (prevValue != 0 && prevValue < crtValue)
{
if (prevValue == 1 && (crtValue == 5 || crtValue == 10)
|| prevValue == 10 && (crtValue == 50 || crtValue == 100)
|| prevValue == 100 && (crtValue == 500 || crtValue == 1000))
totalValue -= 2 * prevValue;
else
return 0;
}
prevValue = crtValue;
}
return totalValue;
}
This is my solution
public int SimplerConverter(string number)
{
number = number.ToUpper();
var result = 0;
foreach (var letter in number)
{
result += ConvertLetterToNumber(letter);
}
if (number.Contains("IV")|| number.Contains("IX"))
result -= 2;

return result;
}

{
// get current value
var current = romanNumeralString[i].ToString();
var curRomanNum = RomanNumbers.First(rn => rn.Numeral.ToUpper() == current.ToUpper());
// last number just add the value and exit
if (i + 1 == romanNumeralString.Length)
{

break;
}

Borrowed a lot from System.Linq on this one. String implements IEnumerable<char>, so I figured that was appropriate since we are treating it as an enumerable object anyways. Tested it against a bunch of random numbers, including 1, 3, 4, 8, 83, 99, 404, 555, 846, 927, 1999, 2420.
public static IDictionary<char, int> CharValues
{
get
{
return new Dictionary<char, int>
{{'I', 1}, {'V', 5}, {'X', 10}, {'L', 50}, {'C', 100}, {'D', 500}, {'M', 1000}};
}
}
public static int RomanNumeralToInteger(IEnumerable<char> romanNumerals)
{
int retVal = 0;
//go backwards
for (int i = romanNumerals.Count() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
//get current character
char c = romanNumerals.ElementAt(i);
//error checking
if (!CharValues.ContainsKey(c)) throw new InvalidRomanNumeralCharacterException(c);
//determine if we are adding or subtracting
bool op = romanNumerals.Skip(i).Any(rn => CharValues[rn] > CharValues[c]);
//then do so
retVal = op ? retVal - CharValues[c] : retVal + CharValues[c];
}
return retVal;
}
I landed here searching for a small implementation of a Roman Numerals parser but wasn't satisfied by the provided answers in terms of size and elegance. I leave my final, recursive implementation here, to help others searching a small implementation.
Convert Roman Numerals by Recursion
- The algorithm is able to non-adjacent numerals as well (f.e.
XIIX). - This implementation may only work with well-formed (strings matching
/[mdclxvi]*/i) roman numerals. - The implementation is not optimized for speed.
// returns the value for a roman literal
private static int romanValue(int index)
{
int basefactor = ((index % 2) * 4 + 1); // either 1 or 5...
// ...multiplied with the exponentation of 10, if the literal is `x` or higher
return index > 1 ? (int) (basefactor * System.Math.Pow(10.0, index / 2)) : basefactor;
}
public static int FromRoman(string roman)
{
roman = roman.ToLower();
string literals = "mdclxvi";
int value = 0, index = 0;
foreach (char literal in literals)
{
value = romanValue(literals.Length - literals.IndexOf(literal) - 1);
index = roman.IndexOf(literal);
if (index > -1)
return FromRoman(roman.Substring(index + 1)) + (index > 0 ? value - FromRoman(roman.Substring(0, index)) : value);
}
return 0;
}
How does it work?
This algorithm calculates the value of a Roman Numeral by taking the highest value from the Roman Numeral and adding/subtracting recursively the value of the remaining left/right parts of the literal.
ii X iiv # Pick the greatest value in the literal `iixiiv` (symbolized by uppercase)
Then recursively reevaluate and subtract the lefthand-side and add the righthand-side:
(iiv) + x - (ii) # Subtract the lefthand-side, add the righthand-side
(V - (ii)) + x - ((I) + i) # Pick the greatest values, again
(v - ((I) + i)) + x - ((i) + i) # Pick the greatest value of the last numeral compound
Finally the numerals are substituted by their integer values:
(5 - ((1) + 1)) + 10 - ((1) + 1)
(5 - (2)) + 10 - (2)
3 + 10 - 2
= 11
I will suggest a simplest method for this by using array in .net : comments are given in C# section for explanation
VB.net

I refer from this blog. You could just reverse the roman numeral , then all the thing would be more easier compare to make the comparison.
public static int pairConversion(int dec, int lastNum, int lastDec)
{
if (lastNum > dec)
return lastDec - dec;
else return lastDec + dec;
}
public static int ConvertRomanNumtoInt(string strRomanValue)
{
var dec = 0;
var lastNum = 0;
foreach (var c in strRomanValue.Reverse())
{
switch (c)
{
case 'I':
dec = pairConversion(1, lastNum, dec);
lastNum = 1;
break;
case 'V':
dec=pairConversion(5,lastNum, dec);
lastNum = 5;
break;
case 'X':
dec = pairConversion(10, lastNum, dec);
lastNum = 10;
break;
case 'L':
dec = pairConversion(50, lastNum, dec);
lastNum = 50;
break;
case 'C':
dec = pairConversion(100, lastNum, dec);
lastNum = 100;
break;
case 'D':
dec = pairConversion(500, lastNum, dec);
lastNum = 500;
break;
case 'M':
dec = pairConversion(1000, lastNum, dec);
lastNum = 1000;
break;
}
}
return dec;
}
This one uses a stack:
public int RomanToInt(string s)
{
var dict = new Dictionary<char, int>();
dict['I'] = 1;
dict['V'] = 5;
dict['X'] = 10;
dict['L'] = 50;
dict['C'] = 100;
dict['D'] = 500;
dict['M'] = 1000;
Stack<char> st = new Stack<char>();
foreach (char ch in s.ToCharArray())
st.Push(ch);
int result = 0;
while (st.Count > 0)
{
var c1=st.Pop();
var ch1 = dict[c1];
if (st.Count > 0)
{
var c2 = st.Peek();
var ch2 = dict[c2];
if (ch2 < ch1)
{
result += (ch1 - ch2);
st.Pop();
}
else
{
result += ch1;
}
}
else
{

}
}

I wrote this just using arrays.

EDIT
Forget about it !
Just look at BrunoLM solution here.
It's simple and elegant.
The only caveat is that it does not check the source.
This is my solution:
/// <summary>

string[] roman = { "M", "CM", "D", "CD", "C", "XC", "L", "XL", "X", "IX", "V", "IV", "I" };
int[] arabic = { 1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1 };
return Enumerable.Range(0, replaceRom.Length)
.Aggregate
(

(agg, cur) => agg.Replace(replaceRom[cur], replaceNum[cur]),
agg => agg.ToArray()
)
.Aggregate
(
0,
(agg, cur) =>
{
int idx = Array.IndexOf(roman, cur.ToString());
return idx < 0 ? 0 : agg + arabic[idx];
},
agg => agg
);
}
/// <summary>

/// </summary>
/// <param name="arabicNumber">the Arabic number</param>

public static string ToRomanNumber(int arabicNumber)
{
string[] roman = { "M", "CM", "D", "CD", "C", "XC", "L", "XL", "X", "IX", "V", "IV", "I" };
int[] arabic = { 1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1 };
return Enumerable.Range(0, arabic.Length)
.Aggregate
(
Tuple.Create(arabicNumber, string.Empty),
(agg, cur) =>
{
int remainder = agg.Item1 % arabic[cur];
string concat = agg.Item2 + string.Concat(Enumerable.Range(0, agg.Item1 / arabic[cur]).Select(num => roman[cur]));
return Tuple.Create(remainder, concat);
},
agg => agg.Item2
);
}
Here's the Explanation how the methods work:
ToArabicNumber
First aggregation step is to Replace the Roman Number special cases (e.g.: IV -> IIII). Second Aggregate step simply sums up the equivalent Arabic number of the Roman letter (e.g. V -> 5)
ToRomanNumber:
I start the aggregation with the given Arabic number. For each step the number will be divided by the equivalent number of the Roman letter. The remainder of this division is then the input for the next step. The division Result will be translated to the Equivalent Roman Number character which will be appended to the result string.
Solution with fulfilling the "subtractive notation" semantics checks
None of the current solutions completely fulfills the entire set of rules for the "subtractive notation". "IIII" -> is not possible. Each of the solutions results a 4. Also the strings: "CCCC", "VV", "IC", "IM" are invalid.
A good online-converter to check the semantics is https://www.romannumerals.org/converter So, if you really want doing a completely semantics-check, it's much more complex.
My approach was to first write the unit tests with the semantic checks. Then to write the code. Then to reduce the loops with some linq expressions.
Maybe there is a smarter solution, but I think the following code fullfills the rules to convert a roman numerals string.
After the code section, there is a section with my unit tests.
