How do you find a roman numeral equivalent of an integer. Is there a java library which provides this capability?
I did find a similar question, but I would prefer an out of the box API abstraction for this issue. Its just painful to handle all possible combinations in your code.
Here is a link for many languages including Java. Here's an extract of relevance:
public class RN {
enum Numeral {
I(1), IV(4), V(5), IX(9), X(10), XL(40), L(50), XC(90), C(100), CD(400), D(500), CM(900), M(1000);
int weight;
Numeral(int weight) {
this.weight = weight;
}
};
public static String roman(long n) {
if( n <= 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
final Numeral[] values = Numeral.values();
for (int i = values.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
while (n >= values[i].weight) {
buf.append(values[i]);
n -= values[i].weight;
}
}
return buf.toString();
}
public static void test(long n) {
System.out.println(n + " = " + roman(n));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
test(1999);
test(25);
test(944);
test(0);
}
}
This is the code I am using, right next to the excel column name converter. Why isnt there an apache library for this stuff?
private static final char[] R = {'ↂ', 'ↁ', 'M', 'D', 'C', 'L', 'X', 'V', 'I'};
// or, as suggested by Andrei Fierbinteanu
// private static final String[] R = {"X\u0305", "V\u0305", "M", "D", "C", "L", "X", "V", "I"};
private static final int MAX = 10000; // value of R[0], must be a power of 10
private static final int[][] DIGITS = {
{},{0},{0,0},{0,0,0},{0,1},{1},
{1,0},{1,0,0},{1,0,0,0},{0,2}};
public static String int2roman(int number) {
if (number < 0 || number >= MAX*4) throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"int2roman: " + number + " is not between 0 and " + (MAX*4-1));
if (number == 0) return "N";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int i = 0, m = MAX;
while (number > 0) {
int[] d = DIGITS[number / m];
for (int n: d) sb.append(R[i-n]);
number %= m;
m /= 10;
i += 2;
}
return sb.toString();
}
Edit:
Now that I look at it again, the loop can be condensed to
for (int i = 0, m = MAX; m > 0; m /= 10, i += 2) {
int[] d = DIGITS[(number/m)%10];
for (int n: d) sb.append(R[i-n]);
}
making the code even less readable ;-)
This my answer:
Use this libreries...
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;
The code
public static String RomanNumerals(int Int) {
LinkedHashMap<String, Integer> roman_numerals = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
roman_numerals.put("M", 1000);
roman_numerals.put("CM", 900);
roman_numerals.put("D", 500);
roman_numerals.put("CD", 400);
roman_numerals.put("C", 100);
roman_numerals.put("XC", 90);
roman_numerals.put("L", 50);
roman_numerals.put("XL", 40);
roman_numerals.put("X", 10);
roman_numerals.put("IX", 9);
roman_numerals.put("V", 5);
roman_numerals.put("IV", 4);
roman_numerals.put("I", 1);
String res = "";
for(Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry : roman_numerals.entrySet()){
int matches = Int/entry.getValue();
res += repeat(entry.getKey(), matches);
Int = Int % entry.getValue();
}
return res;
}
public static String repeat(String s, int n) {
if(s == null) {
return null;
}
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
sb.append(s);
}
return sb.toString();
}
Testing the code
for (int i = 1;i<256;i++) {
System.out.println("i="+i+" -> "+RomanNumerals(i));
}
The output:

My version uses unmodified lookup and is more explicit.
public String numToRoman(int num) {
int numLength = (int) (Math.log10(num) + 1);
int place_value = 10;
final Map<Integer, char[]> romanModeLookup = new HashMap<>();
romanModeLookup.putAll(Map.of(10, new char[]{'I', 'V', 'X'}, 100, new char[]{'X', 'L', 'C'},
1000, new char[]{'C', 'D', 'M'}, 10000, new char[]{'M'}));
final StringBuilder romanBuilder = new StringBuilder();
while (numLength > 0) {
numLength--;
int current_num_at_place_val = (num % place_value) / (place_value / 10);
System.out.println(current_num_at_place_val);
if (place_value < 10000) {
if (current_num_at_place_val == 9) {
romanBuilder.append(romanModeLookup.get(place_value)[2]).append(romanModeLookup.get(place_value)[0]);
} else if (current_num_at_place_val >= 5) {
int remaining_sticks = current_num_at_place_val - 5;
while (remaining_sticks > 0) {
romanBuilder.append(romanModeLookup.get(place_value)[0]);
remaining_sticks--;
}
romanBuilder.append(romanModeLookup.get(place_value)[1]);
} else if (current_num_at_place_val == 4) {
romanBuilder.append(romanModeLookup.get(place_value)[1]).append(romanModeLookup.get(place_value)[0]);
} else {
while (current_num_at_place_val > 0) {
romanBuilder.append(romanModeLookup.get(place_value)[0]);
current_num_at_place_val--;
}
}
} else if (place_value == 10000) {
while (current_num_at_place_val > 0) {
romanBuilder.append(romanModeLookup.get(10000)[0]);
current_num_at_place_val--;
}
} else {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Number too big for Romanization");
}
place_value *= 10;
}
return romanBuilder.reverse().toString();}
