Ok, I'm having trouble with another exercise in this book. It has asked me to write a program that will calculate the old school roman numeral value for a given modern number (up to the thousands). To clarify, old school roman numerals didn't do the subtraction thing, so 4 is IIII, nine is VIIII, etc. I've played around with a few options using division, loops and modulus, but can't seem to get my brain around the problem...any suggestions?
