Can this Roman Number to Integer converter code be shorter?

Question

95 bytes currently in python

I,V,X,L,C,D,M,R,r=1,5,10,50,100,500,1000,vars(),lambda x:reduce(lambda T,x:T+R[x]-T%R[x]*2,x,0)

Here is the few test results, it should work for 1 to 3999 (assume input is valid char only)

>>> r("I")
1
>>> r("MCXI")
1111
>>> r("MMCCXXII")
2222
>>> r("MMMCCCXXXIII")
3333
>>> r("MMMDCCCLXXXVIII")
3888
>>> r("MMMCMXCIX")
3999

And this is not duplicate with this, this is reversed one.

So, is it possible to make that shorter in Python, or Other languages like ruby could be done shorter than that?

Answer 1

Adopting a response from Jon Skeet to a previously asked similar question:

In my custom programming language "CPL1839079", it's 3 bytes:

r=f

Answer 2

Actually defining my own fromJust is smaller, a total of 98

r=foldl(\t c->t+y c-t`mod`y c*2)0 --34
y x=f$lookup x$zip"IVXLCDM"[1,5,10,50,100,500,1000] --52
f(Just x)=x --12
  -- assumes correct input

---

Haskell gets close.

import Data.Maybe --18
r=foldl(\t c->t+y c-t`mod`y c*2)0 --34
y x=fromJust$lookup x$zip"IVXLCDM"[1,5,10,50,100,500,1000] --59

total bytes = 111

Would be 93 if i didn't need the import for fromJust

Answer 3

Python - 94 chars

cheap shot :)

I,V,X,L,C,D=1,5,10,50,100,500
M,R,r=D+D,vars(),lambda x:reduce(lambda T,x:T+R[x]-T%R[x]*2,x,0)

Answer 4

Shortest solutions from codegolf.com

There was a "Roman to decimal" competition over at Code Golf some time ago. (Well, actually it's still running because they never end.) A Perl golfer by the name of eyepopslikeamosquito decided to win all four languages (Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby), and so he did. He wrote a fascinating four-part series "The golf course looks great, my swing feels good, I like my chances" (part II, part III, part IV) describing his approaches over at Perl Monks.

Here are his solutions:

Ruby, 53 strokes

n=1;$.+=n/2-n%n=10**(494254%C/9)%4999while C=getc;p$.

Perl, 58 strokes

$\+=$z-2*$z%($z=10**(19&654115/ord)%1645)for<>=~/./g;print

He also has a 53-stroke solution, but it probably doesn't work right now: (it uses the $^T variable during a few second period in 2011!)

$\+=$z-2*$z%($z=10**(7&$^T/ord)%1999)for<>=~/./g;print

PHP, 70 strokes

<?while(A<$c=fgetc(STDIN))$t+=$n-2*$n%$n=md5(o²Ûö¬Ñ.$c)%1858+1?><?=$t;

The six weird characters in the md5(..) are chr(111).chr(178).chr(219).chr(246).chr(172).chr(209) in Perl notation.

Python, 78 strokes

t=p=0
for r in raw_input():n=10**(205558%ord(r)%7)%9995;t+=n-2*p%n;p=n
print t
