Description

Three programming challenges for today:

Extend your Fixnum#to_roman method to work up to 2015.

A factorial of an integer is the product of all positive integers up to and including that integer. For example 6 factorial = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1. Write a method on the Fixnum class which returns the factorial of a number.

Write a method on the Fixnum class to convert a number to its name in English.

EXPERT LEVEL: Write a function that can do addition or multiplication in English. For example given "twenty three times seventy eight", it should return "one thousand seven hundred ninety four".

SUPER EXPERT LEVEL: Write a function that can do any basic arithmetic operation - addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division - in English, accepting a string as input and returning one as output.
