Roman Numeral Calculator

For this programming exercise, you will be creating a library which will allow the addition and subtraction of Roman numerals. Once your solution is complete, please provide your solution as a Git repository (publicly available via Github or Bitbucket). Please include within your repository, all source and test code.

This exercise is based on the Roman Numeral Calculator Kata at http://bit.ly/1VfHqlj.

Please submit your test driven solution via a public Git repository (github/bitbucket).

The solution will be reviewed for:

  • Test coverage
  • Test Driven Development
  • Algorithm Usage
  • Code structure
  • Use of source control
  • Completeness of the overall solution

The environment for this programming exercise must utilize:

Roman Numeral rules:

  • Roman numerals consist of the following letters: I, V, X, L, C, D, and M which mean one, five, ten, fifty, hundred, five hundred and one thousand respectively.
  • An example would be "XIV" + "LX" = "LXXIV" 

  • Numerals can be concatenated to form a larger numeral ("XX" + "II" = "XXII").
  • If a lesser numeral is put before a bigger it means subtraction of the lesser from the bigger ("IV" 
means four, "CM" means ninehundred).
  • If the numeral is I, X or C you can't have more than three ("II" + "II" = "IV" not “IIII”).
  • If the numeral is V, L or D you can't have more than one ("D" + "D" = "M" not “DD”)
  • The maximum roman numeral is 3999 (MMMCMXCIX) 


Stories

User Story: Addition

As a Roman bookkeeper, I want to be able to add two numbers together; so that I can do my work faster with fewer mathematical errors. 


User Story: Subtraction

As a Roman bookkeeper, I want to be able to subtract one number from another; so that I can do my work faster and with fewer mathematical errors.
