Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L,
C, D and M.
Symbol Value
I 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000
For example, 2 is written as II in Roman numeral, just two one's added
together. 12 is written as XII, which is simply X + II. The number 27
is written as XXVII, which is XX + V + II.
Roman numerals are usually written largest to smallest from left to right.
However, the numeral for four is not IIII. Instead, the number four is
written as IV. Because the one is before the five we subtract it making four.
The same principle applies to the number nine, which is written as IX. There
are six instances where subtraction is used:
Ican be placed beforeV(5) andX(10) to make 4 and 9.Xcan be placed beforeVL (50) andC` (100) to make 40 and 90.Ccan be placed beforeVD (500) andM` (1000) to make 400 and 900.
Given a roman numeral, convert it to an integer.
Example 1:
Input: s = "III"
Output: 3
Explanation: III = 3.
Example 2:
Input: s = "LVIII"
Output: 58
Explanation: L = 50, V= 5, III = 3.
Example 3:
Input: s = "MCMXCIV"
Output: 1994
Explanation: M = 1000, CM = 900, XC = 90 and IV = 4.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 15scontains only the characters('I', 'V', 'X', 'L', 'C', 'D', 'M').- It is guaranteed that
sis a valid roman numeral in the range[1, 3999].
