Leetcode - Integer to Roman
Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I
, V
, X
, L
, C
, D
and M
.
Symbol Value I 1 V 5 X 10 L 50 C 100 D 500 M 1000
For example, two is written as II
in Roman numeral, just two one's added together. Twelve is written as, XII
, which is simply X
+ II
. The number twenty seven is written as XXVII
, which is XX
+ V
+ II
.
Roman numerals are usually written largest to smallest from left to right. However, the numeral for four is not IIII
. Instead, the number four is written as IV
. Because the one is before the five we subtract it making four. The same principle applies to the number nine, which is written as IX
. There are six instances where subtraction is used:
-
I
can be placed beforeV
(5) andX
(10) to make 4 and 9. -
X
can be placed beforeL
(50) andC
(100) to make 40 and 90. -
C
can be placed beforeD
(500) andM
(1000) to make 400 and 900.
Given an integer, convert it to a roman numeral. Input is guaranteed to be within the range from 1 to 3999.
Example 1:
Input: 3 Output: "III"
func intToRoman(num int) string { digits := []int{1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1} symbol := []string{"M", "CM", "D", "CD", "C", "XC", "L", "XL", "X", "IX", "V", "IV", "I"} result := []byte{} for i := 0; i < len(digits) && num >= 0; i++ { for digits[i] <= num { num -= digits[i] result = append(result, []byte(symbol[i])...) } } return string(result) }
