Roman to Integer Converter Function Explained
The Roman numeral system is a classic example of a surviving ancient writing system. Its simplicity has made it popular for various applications, including dates on clocks and historical texts. Converting Roman numerals to integers can be a bit tricky, especially when dealing with subtractive notation like "IV" for 4 or "IX" for 9. This function aims to simplify the process by leveraging a map of Roman numeral values and iterating through the string to compute the total.
The function uses a map to store the values of Roman numerals, making it easy to look up the corresponding integer value for each character. Here’s how it works:
Mapping Roman Numerals: The map includes key-value pairs for each Roman numeral, from "I" (1) up to "M" (1000). This allows for quick lookups during the iteration phase.
Iteration and Value Accumulation: The function iterates over each character in the input string. For each character, it checks if the current numeral is part of a subtractive pair. If so, it adjusts the total accordingly. For example, if the current numeral is "I" and the next is "V" or "X", it subtracts the value of "I" instead of adding it.
Special Cases Handling: The function accounts for specific cases where a smaller numeral precedes a larger one, such as "IV" (4) and "IX" (9). These cases require adjusting the total by subtracting twice the value of the smaller numeral.
Summing Values: For numerals that don’t require adjustment, the function simply adds their value to the total. This approach ensures that both standard and subtractive Roman numerals are correctly converted into integers.
The function’s efficiency is further enhanced by processing each character in a single pass through the string, making it both time and space efficient. This implementation ensures that the conversion is accurate and handles all common Roman numeral cases correctly.
