_Roman_
_roman_

This collection provides two files:

 _roman.ss_: converts ints to roman numerals and vice versa
 _roman-test.ss_: unit tests for roman.ss

======================================================================

These functions only handle numbers in the range 1 to 3999 inclusive.

This library is caps-sensitive: "VI" is fine, "Vi", "vI", and "vi" 
are not.

A Roman numeral is well-formed iff
* it consists entirely of M, C, D, X, L, I, V, and
* it is valid per the Roman numeral system as defined at 
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals.

roman.ss
--------------

> int->roman : (integer-in 1 3999) -> string?

Converts input to its Roman numeral representation.

> roman->int : string? -> (union (integer-in 1 3999) false?)

Converts well-formed Roman numerals to integers.

> summa : roman ... -> roman

Adds arbitrarily many, but not fewer than one, roman numbers.

> productum : roman ... -> roman

Multiplies arbitrarily many, but not fewer than one, roman numbers.

> differentia : roman roman -> roman

Subtracts the second roman from the first.

> quotiens : roman roman -> roman

Computes the quotient of the two numbers.
(quotiens "IV" "II") => "II"
(quotiens "IV" "III") => "I"

> residuum : roman roman -> roman

Computes the remainder of the first roman divided by the second.
(residuum "V" "II") => "I"

> test-all : -> void?

Prints out the functions applied to all numbers in the range. That is,
if you want to verify these functions, you can run this.

EXAMPLES -------------------------------------------------------------

> (int->roman 1121)
"MCXXI"
> (roman->int "MCXXI")
1121

Have a nice, Roman-numeral filled day.
