Roman Numerals

Build a function takes in a number and converts it to roman numerals

Roman numeral conversion:

• Base roman digits

  • 1 : I
  • 5 : V
  • 10: X
  • 50 : L
  • 100 : C
  • 500: D
  • 1000 : M

• Writing numbers other than base digits:

  • larger than base digit and smaller than next base digit, concatenate them together
    • 2 is II. 3 is III
  • Smaller than base digit: Writen as the base digit minus whatever smaller digits come before it, so for example
    • 4 is 5 minus 1, or IV
  • Larger than base digit: Writen as the base digit plus whatever smaller digits after it, totally up to the number, so for example
    • 6 is 5 plus 1, or VI
    • 11 is 10 plus 1, or XI
    • 56 is 50 plus 5 plus 1, or LVI
    • 67 is 50 plus 10 plus 5 plus 2, or LXVII

• Write a function that takes one parameter

  • Parameter 1 - A number

• The function should output an a string with the corresponding roman numerals

• Example:

  • var the_number = 62;
  • romanNumerals(the_number);
  • Returns - LXIIV
