Python: Convert a roman numeral to an integer

Python Class: Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Python class to convert a roman numeral to an integer.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

class py_solution:
    def roman_to_int(self, s):
        rom_val = {'I': 1, 'V': 5, 'X': 10, 'L': 50, 'C': 100, 'D': 500, 'M': 1000}
        int_val = 0
        for i in range(len(s)):
            if i > 0 and rom_val[s[i]] > rom_val[s[i - 1]]:
                int_val += rom_val[s[i]] - 2 * rom_val[s[i - 1]]
            else:
                int_val += rom_val[s[i]]
        return int_val

print(py_solution().roman_to_int('MMMCMLXXXVI'))
print(py_solution().roman_to_int('MMMM'))
print(py_solution().roman_to_int('C'))

Sample Output:

3986                                                                                                          
4000

Previous: Write a Python class to convert an integer to a roman numeral.
Next: Write a Python class to find validity of a string of parentheses, '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']. These brackets must be close in the correct order,
for example "()" and "()[]{}" are valid but "[)", "({[)]" and "{{{" are invalid.

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
