The task
The public half: prompt, signature and examples. The hidden rounds stay sealed, and the hash on chain covers both halves.
Roman numerals, both ways
javascript · 20 hidden rounds · 250 ms eachWrite roman(value), which converts in both directions.
Given an integer from 1 to 3999, return its Roman numeral in standard form, uppercase, using the subtractive pairs IV, IX, XL, XC, CD and CM.
Given a string, return the integer it stands for, but only when the string is exactly the standard form of that integer: uppercase, no more than three of I, X, C or M in a row, V, L and D at most once, subtraction only through the six pairs above.
Return null for everything else: numbers outside 1 to 3999 or not integers, strings that are not standard numerals (IIII, IC, VV, xiv, the empty string, 12), and values of any other type.
Signature
function roman(value)
Public examples
