Implementing number to Roman converter like this made me feel like a moron. But, hey, this piece of code works...

The most dumb/straightforward solution I could come up with: add symbols to a string and substract number from the input number. No loops, the same code with slight variations repeated 13 times.

Forced my brain to work a bit more, managed to simplify the solution.

(Surprised that it was a medium one. I've a feeling that converting the other way around was more complicated but it was marked as Easy.)

The improverd algorithm with reduced duplication.

@Wearwolf absolutely! Especially in the context of LeetCode. The solution is accepted, might as well move on :)

@TiredRaven
Truly no more humbling experience than LeetCode. Often has me questioning if I actually know anything about programming

@midas Yup, I started with the easiest tasks, with the solution being already implemented in C++ standard library. Went at a snail's pace, frustrated as hell.

Double frustration because I've never required anything like that at work 🙂
