Purpose: To help develop logic and problem solving skills while continuing to work with header files and Object Oriented constructs, including: classes, constructors and overloading. 

Goal: To design and implement a Roman Numeral Number class. The class should be able to build Roman numerals for various values (int parameter to constructor and to a setas* function), and be able to produce values for roman numerals (string result).For this class you only need to consider decimal (base 10) integer numbers. 

Turn-in: 

 File name: assignments/assign5/assign5.cpp 

 Programming Style Requirements: 

o Comment block at the top-left that includes your Linux User ID, Name, Course, Assignment Title, and Date. 

o Comment block Explaining purpose of the program 

 Printed program listing, which includes sample output 

o 3 separate files: 

 assign5.cpp (with sample output in comments), header and implementation file. 

o Hand-printed name in top right corner, stapled in top left corner.

Program Details: 

Your class will need to meet the following specification: 

 Class Name: RNumber 

 Assume integer values only 

o Unless noted, normal decimal integer values should be assumed 

o Negative values should be displayed in (~ ~), ex: -3 is (~III~) 

o Use normal notation, -5 for instance, on user input 

o For simplicity, assume max value of 1000. 

 Input/Output options 

o Conversations: 

 For input of a RNumber object, allow for: 

 setAsRoman( string ) 

 setAsDecimal( int) 

 For a RNumber object, produce representations 

 int ToInt() 

 string ToString() 

 You should have both a default constructor, as well as a constructor to allow for setting a value at declaration (input should allow for using either an int or a string) 

 Overloaded Operators 

o << 

o >> 

o + 

o – 

o = 

o == 

o > 

o <
