Decimal to Roman Numeral Convertor

Something that immediatly comes to mind:

Code Select Expand

std::string returnString;

const long rnChars[] = { 'M', 'D', 'C', 'L', 'X', 'V', 'I' };
const long rnDigits[] = { 1000, 500, 100, 50, 10, 5, 1, 0 };

for ( long i = 0; i < rnDigits[i] != 0; ++i )
{
  long quotient = input / rnDigits[i];
  long remainder = input % rnDigits[i];
   
  returnString.append( quotient,  rnChars[i] );
  input = remainder;
}The above will *not* work. It should at least get you started. Basically, you'll want to keep extracting digits and dividing to figure out how many multiples of each letter to add.

You should just do this by yourself.  

I've written one of these along time ago.  I'll post the source if you find you desperately need it.    But it's rather simple, just a matter of logic more or less.
