I been wanting to make this since the 1990's when I made back then in QBasic just a little chart on how to convert them in your head.
I scoured my brain the last 2 days with this and finally gave in and used Chat GPT to help me figure it out. Since it used a FUNCTION, I removed it because
I don't really know how to use FUNCTION's yet. I've used them, but don't really have the experience. I placed all the code within the program instead and fixed a
couple things. Chat GPT had wrong DIM numbers so I changed that also. Going over this in my head, line-by-line I finally figured out how it works. It's a lot easier
for me to learn by trial and error though, so I doubt I will use Chat GPT much. To me, it's kind of like copying from someone else's test at school. But at least I'm
trying to learn off of it.
What is amazing about this is that it doesn't use any LEN or RIGHT$ or LEFT$ or MID$ (which I tried over and over LOL).
Enjoy.
Code: (Select All)

Nice, reminds me of the change maker I did.
Making it a function called Romanize$(number):

Ken you present some really interesting stuff. Do you remember the Lemonade Stand and your Paint program? I still have unfinished apps based on those, and your calendar ideas really improved my own!
Anyway, once again I've optimized my previous optimized code for Roman Numeral Conversions:
Code: (Select All) _Title "Roman Numerals Converter mod 4 2024-08-13"
Dim Shared Value$, Symbol$
Value$ = "1000 900 500 400 100 90 50 40 10 9 5 4 1"
Symbol$ = " MCM DCD CXC LXL XIX VIV I"
$Console:Only
For i = 1 To 4000
r$ = Romanize$(i): C$ = String$(15, " "): n% = Numeralize%(r$): Mid$(C$, 1, Len(r$)) = r$
Print i, C$; n%: If i <> n% Then Beep: Sleep ' keep us honest :)
Next
Function Romanize$ (number As Integer)
If number < 1 Or number > 3999 Then Romanize$ = "Out of Range": Exit Function
num% = number
For i% = 1 To 13
While num% >= Val(Mid$(Value$, (i% - 1) * 4 + 1, 4))
romanNum$ = romanNum$ + _Trim$(Mid$(Symbol$, (i% - 1) * 2 + 1, 2))
num% = num% - Val(Mid$(Value$, (i% - 1) * 4 + 1, 4))
Wend
Next
Romanize$ = romanNum$
End Function
Function Numeralize% (Roman$)
copy$ = Roman$
For i% = 2 To 12 Step 2
place% = InStr(copy$, _Trim$(Mid$(Symbol$, (i% - 1) * 2 + 1, 2)))
If place% Then tot% = tot% + Val(Mid$(Value$, (i% - 1) * 4 + 1, 4)): Mid$(copy$, place%, 2) = " "
Next
For i% = 1 To 13 Step 2
place% = InStr(copy$, _Trim$(Mid$(Symbol$, (i% - 1) * 2 + 1, 2)))
While place%
tot% = tot% + Val(Mid$(Value$, (i% - 1) * 4 + 1, 4))
Mid$(copy$, place%, 1) = " "
place% = InStr(copy$, _Trim$(Mid$(Symbol$, (i% - 1) * 2 + 1, 2)))
Wend
Next
Numeralize% = tot%
End Function
Not too long I hope

Thanks! Yeah I still have everything. I would love to have my own area of this forum to post all of my best stuff, like you and Dav and others have. It's just tough when everything gets buried after time.
