Description

Extract the list of concepts required to solve the v2 C++ exercise: roman-numerals. For each concept, describe why it is required to solve the exercise.

The goal of this task is to help determine the total list of concepts that make up roman-numerals.

The list of concepts should be stored in the following document: languages/cpp/reference/exercise-concepts/roman-numerals.md. Use this link to create a PR to add this document.
