Hi,
I have been working on this program for a few days.. and I am so far gone I lost myself in my own program. I usually just start from scratch when I get frustrated but there is too much time invested into my heap to give up so I thought I would come here. My assignment is as follows:
Write a program that converts a number entered in Roman Numerals to decimal. Needs to consist of a class called romanType and an object that does the following:
Store the number as a Roman numeral
Convert and store the number into decimal form
Print the number as a Roman numeral or decimal number as requested by user
The decimal values of the roman numerals are:
M = 1000
D = 500
C = 100
L = 50
X = 10
V = 5
I = 1
After completion, I need to test the program with the following input: MCXIV, CCCLIX, MDCLXVI
Here's what I have so far in the source file:
//romanType.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include "romanType.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
romanType r;
char romanNum;
char choice;
int decimal;
int total;
cout << setw(60) << "Welcome! Please follow the directions below." << endl;
cout << endl;
cout << "Please enter a Roman Numeral: ";
cin >> romanNum;
cout << endl;
r.setRoman(romanNum);
r.convertRoman(total);
cout << "Do you want to see the [R]oman Numeral or the [D]ecimal? ";
cin >> choice;
cout << endl;
if(choice == 'R' || choice == 'r')
r.printRoman(romanNum);
else if(choice == 'D' || choice == 'd')
r.printDecimal(total);
else
cout << "That was not an invalid choice.." << endl;
cout << endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}//End mainHere's what I have so far in the implementation file:
// romanTypeImp.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "romanType.h"
using namespace std;
romanType::romanType()
{
}//End romanType Constructor
romanType::romanType(char)
{
char romanNum;
}//End romanType(string) Constructor
romanType:: ~romanType()
{
}//End ~romanType Destructor
void romanType::setRoman(char)
{
char romanNum;
}//End getRoman
int romanType::convertRoman(int& total)
{
int len = strlen(romanNum);
int count[len];
for(int i = 0; i > len; i++)
{
switch(romanNum[i])
{
case 'M':
count[i] = 1000;
break;
case 'm':
count[i] = 1000;
break;
case 'D':
count[i] = 500;
break;
case 'd':
count[i] = 500;
break;
case 'C':
count[i] = 100;
break;
case 'c':
count[i] = 100;
break;
case 'L':
count[i] = 50;
break;
case 'l':
count[i] = 50;
break;
case 'X':
count[i] = 10;
break;
case 'x':
count[i] = 10;
break;
case 'V':
count[i] = 5;
break;
case 'v':
count[i] = 5;
break;
case 'I':
count[i] = 1;
break;
case 'i':
count[i] = 1;
break;
}//End switch
total = total + count[i];
}//End for
total = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < len-1; i++)
{
if(count[i] < count[i+1])
total = total - 2 * count[i];
}//End for
}//End convertRoman
void romanType::printRoman(char romanNum) const
{
cout << "Here is your number displayed in Roman Numeral form: " << romanNum << endl;
}//End printRoman
int romanType::printDecimal(int& total)
{
cout << "Here is your number displayed in Decimal form: " << total << endl;
}//End printDecimalAnd here's what I have so far in the header file:
//romanType.h
using namespace std;
class romanType
{
public:
void printRoman(char) const;
int printDecimal(int&);
void setRoman(char);
int convertRoman(int&);
romanType();
romanType(char);
~romanType();
private:
char romanNum[6];
int decimal;
int total;
};//End Class romanTypeIf anyone can offer any guidance, that would be much appreciated! I apologize for my code being a mess.. I got frantic and started throwing things in to see if I could get something to work and now I don't know what to keep, what to lose, and what to change.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer!
