well... i got some suckie code (just woke up with a terrible hangover... too much free beer ;-) ) but i think i understand it a bit more now... take the input string, look for the highest value (first time it's M, second time it's D), and start looking from that position for the next highest value (skipping of course the previous highest one). Read more... (3 kB) for the suckie code, here's the output: I => ......I ( ......I : Ok ) IV => .....V. ( .....V. : Ok ) V => .....V. ( .....V. : Ok ) VI => .....VI ( .....VI : Ok ) IX => ....X.. ( ....X.. : Ok ) X => ....X.. ( ....X.. : Ok ) XI => ....X.I ( ....X.I : Ok ) XIV => ....XV. ( ....X.I : Not Ok) XV => ....XV. ( ....XV. : Ok ) XVI => ....XVI ( ....XVI : Ok ) XIX => ....X.I ( ....X.I : Ok ) X => ....X.. ( ....X.. : Ok ) XL => ....X.. ( ...L... : Not Ok) LX => ...LX.. ( ...LX.. : Ok ) XC => ....X.. ( ..C.... : Not Ok) CLXIX => ..CLX.I ( ..CLX.I : Ok ) CDXLVI => .D..XVI ( .D..XVI : Ok ) MCMXCVI => M.C.XVI ( M.C.XVI : Ok ) MDCLI => MDCL..I ( MDCL..I : Ok ) [download] I think i know what to do, but my code is not really working as I expected.. or maybe I should wait till my hangover is ... over ;-) to ask a question is a moment of shame to remain ignorant is a lifelong shame	[reply] [d/l] [select]
