I need help with a program.

[sujishishou]

O K I have to do a project for my principles of computer programming class. My teacher is busy so I can't ask him anything right now. I also just got into C++ so I am a bit lost.

Anyways, what I have to do is write a program that accepts any integer between 1000 and 3000 and outputs its Roman numeral. ex. 1543 = MDXLIII

I have no clue how to go about doing that so I will greatly appreciate if someone would help a guy out.

Re: I need help with a program.

I will give you some psuedocode Sorry my roman numeral knowledge is incomplete

do{
      prompt and get user input
} while(the users number is not 1000-3000)

if the number entered / 1000 is not 0
     output M 
     number entered minus 1000
     check if C needs to go before it and how many
     repeat
if number entered /500 is not 0
    output D
    number entered minus 1000
     Check if C needs to go before it
    repeat
........ etc.

Questions just ask.
EDIT: I think I might make it, but it is a little hard Rusty in c++.

Re: I need help with a program.

Hey thanks a lot!
I should be able to make the program to work now.
I'll paste the code in here so you can look at it when I am finished.

edit: It did not help as much as I hoped.
If anyone can tell me how I can output a string of symbols like say:
for M you take the entered number and divide if by 1000
M = number / 1000. Then say you entered 2000. One gets 2.
How do I make it so that the program outputs 2 M's when you find 2 for M?

Re: I need help with a program.

I know almost nothing in C++, but I know a bit about basics of programming.


But anyway, if you only have to do 1000 - 3000, I would make three different if statements, like this (i probably have the wrong command because I don't know any commands in C++):

if (x / 1000 = 1) {
print "M";
}
if (x / 1000 = 2) {
print "MM";
}
if (x / 1000 = 3) {
print "MMM";
}

But that probably wouldn't work, because you wouldn't get any numbers between those.... I don't know... Just try stuff.
