Talk:Roman numerals/Encode

The Java example does not enforce the requirement that the parameter for the conversion function must be a positive integer. Enforcement of such a requirement should result in an error condition, such as an exception, rather than simply no output when a value less than 1 is passed to the function.--Waldorf 21:14, 31 March 2008 (MDT)

Fixed. --Mwn3d 21:22, 31 March 2008 (MDT)

400

I'm pretty sure CD is 400. If you look at wp:Roman_numerals#Modern_Roman_numerals it shows it. --Mwn3d 21:20, 31 March 2008 (MDT)

Spec?

Roman numerals are by no means standardized. You should reference the particular brand of encoding you wish to support. --IanOsgood 08:53, 1 April 2008 (MDT)

What are our choices? --Mwn3d 09:09, 1 April 2008 (MDT)

Project Euler had a similar task, where they addressed possible rules in a FAQ. Wikipedia has also a section on special rules. I guess the safe way is the way all examples so far do it. But maybe specifying it isn't important (I don't know which similarities/dissimilarities between different languages this task should highlight). --Dirkt 15:38, 1 April 2008 (MDT)
