[Haskell-cafe] Roman Numeral Problem

2013-06-24 Thread Christopher Howard
Hi. I am working on some practice programming problems, and one is the Roman numeral problem: write a program that converts Roman numerals into their (arabic) numeral equivalent. I imagine I could hack something together, but I was trying to think about the problem a bit more deeply. I don't know

Hi Christopher, I made a small library to convert between strings and roman numerals [1]. It didn't use much abstraction. I mainly used some type-classes so multiple string-like types can be parsed. The numerals themselves are basically a concatenation of value symbols. The order from high to low

An important question here is whether you want to notice when a Roman numeral is invalid, e.g., iix, or not. From a parsing point of view context-free grammars are not ideal. We have the patterns i{1,3} | iv | vi{1,3} | ix units x{1,3} | xl | lx{1,3} | xc

I leave my terminal with the default font that comes with Ubuntu, mainly because sometimes I like to enlarge its size effortlessly. OTOH, on emacs I use GohuFont-10, which is quite nice. I'm not on a retina display though. Cheers, On Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 12:18 PM, Tobias Dammers

Currently in the c++ developers ml, there's a discussion of a proposed ExpectedT or an EitherL,R template: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/242496 A lot of the discussion appears, at least to me, to not be aware of how haskell handles similar situations. The above link was to

This is neat, it sounds like I could use this with fix-imports to find only modules that export the right function name, or even to add non-qualified imports. But since it's already 95% good enough for my use case, I probably won't get around to it any time soon. On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 8:13 AM,
