Given a roman numeral, convert it to an integer.
Input is guaranteed to be within the range from 1 to 3999.
Analysis:
According to the rules from wiki:
A number written in Arabic numerals can be broken into digits. For example, 1903 is composed of 1 (one thousand), 9 (nine hundreds), 0 (zero tens), and 3 (three units). To write the Roman numeral, each of the non-zero digits should be treated separately. In the above example, 1,000 = M, 900 = CM, and 3 = III. Therefore, 1903 = MCMIII.[4]
The symbols "I", "X", "C", and "M" can be repeated three times in succession, but no more. (They may appear more than three times if they appear non-sequentially, such as XXXIX.) "D", "L", and "V" can never be repeated.[5][6]
"I" can be subtracted from "V" and "X" only. "X" can be subtracted from "L" and "C" only. "C" can be subtracted from "D" and "M" only. "V", "L", and "D" can never be subtracted[6]
Only one small-value symbol may be subtracted from any large-value symbol.[7]
The idea is to scan from left to right, if digit[current]>digit[current-1], add difference value to the result. else add digit[current] to the result
Java

}
}
public int romanToInt(String s) {
// IMPORTANT: Please reset any member data you declared, as
// the same Solution instance will be reused for each test case.
int result = 0;
for(int i=0; i<s.length(); i++){
if(i>0 && RoToIn(s.charAt(i))>RoToIn(s.charAt(i-1)))
result += RoToIn(s.charAt(i)) - 2*RoToIn(s.charAt(i-1));
else
result += RoToIn(s.charAt(i));
}
return result;
