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:
I
can be placed beforeV
(5) andX
(10) to make 4 and 9.X
can be placed beforeL
(50) andC
(100) to make 40 and 90.C
can be placed beforeD
(500) andM
(1000) to make 400 and 900.
Given a roman numeral, convert it to an integer.
Example 1:
Input: s = "III" Output: 3
Example 2:
Input: s = "IV" Output: 4
Example 3:
Input: s = "IX" Output: 9
Example 4:
Input: s = "LVIII" Output: 58 Explanation: L = 50, V= 5, III = 3.
Example 5:
Input: s = "MCMXCIV" Output: 1994
Explanation: M = 1000, CM = 900, XC = 90 and IV = 4
Solution:
Note: Only function is written.
class Solution {
public int romanToInt(String s) {
Map<Character,Integer> map=new HashMap<>();
map.put('I',1);
map.put('V',5);
map.put('X',10);
map.put('L',50);
map.put('C',100);
map.put('D',500);
map.put('M',1000);
int result=map.get(s.charAt(s.length()-1));
for(int i=s.length()-2;i>=0;--i)
{
if(map.get(s.charAt(i))<map.get(s.charAt(i+1))){
result-=map.get(s.charAt(i));
}else{
result+=map.get(s.charAt(i));
}
}
return result;
}
