    Arrow Question about Roman Number Converter

    Hi to all!

    I'm new to this forums and i gotta say, looks nice!

    My question has something to do with a Roman Number Converter made with C#.

    This is the code:

    Code:
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    
    namespace Roman
    {
        public partial class RomeinsConverter : Form
        {
            public RomeinsConverter()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
    
            private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
    
                string text = textBox1.Text;
                string textextra = textBox1.Text;
    
                if (text == "") //Als er niks ingevuld wordt, volgt er een waarschuwing.
                {
                    textBox1.Text = "Niks invullen, Niks krijgen. :)";
                }
    
                else if (Char.IsDigit(text[0]) == true)
                {
                    int textnumeriek = (int.Parse(text));
    
                    if (textnumeriek < 0 || textnumeriek > 3999) //Controleer of het getal tussen de 0 en 3999 ligt.
                    {
                        textBox1.Text = "Het getal moet tussen 0 en 3999 liggen. :)";
                    }
    
                    else if ((Convert.ToInt32(text) == 0)) //Als het getal gelijk aan 0 is, komt als uitvoer N tevoorschijn.
                    {
                        textBox1.Text = "N";
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        int[] getal = new int[] { 1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1 };
                        string[] romein = new string[] { "M", "CM", "D", "CD", "C", "XC", "L", "XL", "X", "IX", "V", "IV", "I" };

                            while (textnumeriek >= getal[i])
                            {
                                textnumeriek -= getal[i]; //trek de waarde die op positie [i] staat af van de originele input (textnumeriek)
                                result.Append(romein[i]); //De Romeinse Waarde die hoort bij het zojuist van textnumeriek afgetrokken getal wordt aan de string "result" toegevoegd.
                            }
                        }
    
                        textBox1.Text = result.ToString(); //De waarde van result wordt in de textbox weergegeven.

    Comments are in Dutch, because I am Dutch.. hehe sry bout that.

    This works, you can convert a Roman Number to a Decimal Number and vice versa.
    But something bothers me.

    Code:
    int[] getal = new int[] { 1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1 };
    string[] romein = new string[] { "M", "CM", "D", "CD", "C", "XC", "L", "XL", "X", "IX", "V", "IV", "I" };
    
                        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
    
                        for (int i = 0; i < 13; i++) //int i start op 0, zolang i < 13 (lengte van de string) wordt er 1 opgeteld bij i.
                        {
                            // Als het getal wat moet worden geconverteerd kleiner is dan de test waarde voeg dan het bijbehorende getal toe
                            while (textnumeriek >= getal[i])
                            {
                                textnumeriek -= getal[i]; //trek de waarde die op positie [i] staat af van de originele input (textnumeriek)
                                result.Append(romein[i]); //De Romeinse Waarde die hoort bij het zojuist van textnumeriek afgetrokken getal wordt aan de string "result" toegevoegd.
                            }
                        }
    
                        textBox1.Text = result.ToString(); //De waarde van result wordt in de textbox weergegeven.
    that part of the code that is. You could say, nothing wrong here right? But what I want now is to only use 7 Roman Numbers. So that means M, D, C, L, X, V and I. So not IV, IX etc.

    I just can't figure this out and it's really bothering me :/

    So if you guys can help me out here it would be great!

    Re: Question about Roman Number Converter

    You could add this inside your for loop.

    Code:
    for (int i = 0; i < 13; i++)
    {
      if(i &#37; 2 == 0)
      {
           // Als het getal wat moet worden geconverteerd kleiner is dan de test waarde voeg dan het bijbehorende getal toe
                            while (textnumeriek >= getal[i])
                            {
                                textnumeriek -= getal[i]; //trek de waarde die op positie [i] staat af van de originele input (textnumeriek)
                                result.Append(romein[i]); //De Romeinse Waarde die hoort bij het zojuist van textnumeriek afgetrokken getal wordt aan de string "result" toegevoegd.
                            }
      }
    }
    This will skip every other index in the romein array. % is the modulus operator.
    This of course assumes that every other index in your romein array is what you want (starting with index [0]).

    Edit: Fixing code.

    When I enter 4 I don't get the Roman Number but that''s because it skips i think... ;/

    wow, what a precision! now it's so easy to tell where the bug is.
    win7 x86, VS 2008 & 2010, C++/CLI, C#, .NET 3.5 & 4.0, VB.NET, VBA... WPF is comming

    remeber to give feedback you think my response deserves recognition? perhaps you may want to click the Rate this post link/button and add to my reputation

    private lessons are not an option so please don't ask for help in private, I won't replay

    if you use Opera and you'd like to have the tab-button functionality for the texteditor take a look at my Opera Tab-UserScirpt; and if you know how to stop firefox from jumping to the next control when you hit tab let me know

    That line doesn't change anything about the code. I want a Converter can convert numbers to Roman Numbers using only 7 Roman Numbers, no combinations( IV,IX etc..)

    So instead of using this:

    Code:
    int[] getal = new int[] { 1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1 };
                        string[] romein = new string[] { "M", "CM", "D", "CD", "C", "XC", "L", "XL", "X", "IX", "V", "IV", "I" };
    It should be like this

    Code:
    int[] getal = new int[] { 1000,  500, 100, 50, 10, 5, 1 };
                        string[] romein = new string[] { "M", "D", "C", "L", "X", "V", "I" };
    So I thought that by using this code there has to be some mathwork to be done to get IV and IX or any other combination.

    When I use this code, if I enter 4 the result will be IIII.

    It needs to be IV.

    I hope you can help me now, I'm doing my best here :P

    Re: Question about Roman Number Converter

    you can also directly get the right item:
    Code:
    int[] getal = new int[] { 1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1 };
    string[] romein = new string[] { "M", "CM", "D", "CD", "C", "XC", "L", "XL", "X", "IX", "V", "IV", "I" };
    
    int idx = Array.IndexOf(getal, 4); // the idx will be -1 if not found
    string roman = romein[idx];

    Re: Question about Roman Number Converter

    I've been trying to solve this and this is the code I have now:

    Code:
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
    
    namespace Roman
    {
        public partial class RomeinsConverter : Form
        {
            public RomeinsConverter()

                {
                    textBox1.Text = "Niks invullen, Niks krijgen. :)";
                }

    When 4 is entered in the textbox IV will be the result.
    But if 9 is entered the result will be just V which isn't right.
    And when I enter 3004 you think that the result would be MMMIV or maybe even MMMIIII
    but no, It just gives MMM

    So I would like to know now how I can get the same sort of code for converting a 4 in IV for the number 9, thats IX. And how to get the 'fours' in other numbers right, for example 24 should be XXIV and 3004 MMMIV etc.

    Here's that code about what I'm talking about

    Code:

                            Match match = Regex.Match(result.ToString(), string.Format("[{0}]", romein[positie]));
                            // MessageBox.Show(string.Format("I kwam {0} maal voor", match.Groups.Count));
                            int teller = 0;
                            if (match.Success)
                            {

                                }

                                textBox1.Text = tijdelijkeUitkomst2;
                            }
                        }
