This Coding Dojo will feature a
Roman Numerals Challenge.
The challenge: write a converter to and from Roman numerals.
"The script should be a standard Unix filter, reading from files specified on the command-line or STDIN and writing to STDOUT. Each line of input will contain one integer (between 1 and 3999) expressed as an Arabic or Roman numeral. There should be one line of output for each line of input, containing the original number in the opposite format."
See the full description.
What is a Coding Dojo?
A Coding Dojo is a meeting where a bunch of coders get together to work on a programming challenge. They are there to have fun and to engage in DeliberatePractice in order to improve their skills.
They use various languages, various tools, various exercise formats. They consider the outcome of an exercise successful when it is completed within allocated time AND the audience can repeat the exercise at home by themselves.
Characteristics:
- Non-competitive, collaborative, fun environment
- All skill levels are welcome
- Safe to try new ideas
