1.)write a function power(a,b), to calculate the value of a raised to

b.
2 .)write a general purpose function to convert any given year into
its roman equivalent.The following table shows the roman equivalents
of decimal integers.
Decimal Roman
1 i
5 v
10 x
50 l
100 c
500 d

The first one you get for free, as a taster. For the other one, we can
arrange direct delivery to your teacher, if you provide us with their
e-mail address, and a cheque for one day's consulting fees, at a rate
to be negotiated.

Hi everybody,
do you know how can I find a process-ID, and stop it in C!

Thanks

Standard ISO/ANSI C knows not of processes. Ask in group discussing
your particular OS.

Anyone who converted Roman numbers and came up with that first example
would be fed to the lions. That is not a proper Roman number, it is your
instructor's vague notion of what a Roman number is.

1988 in Roman numerals is mcmlxxxviii, not mdcccclxxxviii.

Furthermore, the practice of placing smaller digits before large
ones to indicate subtraction of value was hardly ever used by
Romans and came into popularity in Europe after the invention of
the printing press (Wells 1986, p. 60; Cajori 1993, p. 31).
[...]
It should also be noted that the Romans themselves never wrote M
for 1000, but instead wrote (I) for 1000, (I)(I) for 2000, etc.,
and also occasionally wrote IM, IIM, etc. (Menninger 1992, p. 281;
Cajori 1993, p. 32).
