Thread: Help With Algorithm Egyptian Numbers

So, i'm trying to figure out the algorithm for detecting egyptian numbers in the array and adding them properly.

I can't seem to understand how to go from here. I can't think of how to add the numbers together because when the user enters " IINNNNNNNN " and wants to subtract " I ", i don't know how i would code that >.>

Code:

void eMath::AddEgyptianNumbers()
{
	static char eNumber1[40];
	static char eNumber2[40];

	struct EgyptianDigit
	{
		char *EgyptianSymbol;
		int EgyptianValue;
	};

static const EgyptianDigit EgyptianDigitValue[]=
{
	{"Y",1000000},
	{"O",100000},
	{"/",10000},	  
        {"L",1000},
        {"9",100},
	{"N",10},
        {"I",1},
};
	
}

Thanks! It'll just take some time to get it done but i get it.
