Programming with a vengeance

...After the relative lull in actual code-writing due to working on Research Paper 1.0, I am now back to writing lots of code, with a vengeance.

I have started on the data files for Naval Duels.

Larry (my SWW teacher) asked me to try a Roman numeral - to - digital conversion program, as well as the opposite, digital-to-Roman.

I sat down to do that, and I set up the user interface pretty quickly (after all, that's a fairly simple system of loops and prompts.)

But, despite havign a very good knowledg eof how Roman numerals work, I hadn't the foggiest idea of how to write teh code that would actually perform the conversions.

Replies to my python-tutor message asking for help/hints broght something that looks like it will be useful information.
