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 before V
(5) and X
(10) to make 4 and 9. X
can be placed before L
(50) and C
(100) to make 40 and 90. C
can be placed before D
(500) and M
(1000) to make 400 and 900.Given an integer, convert it to a roman numeral.
Example 1:
Input: num = 3 Output: "III" Explanation: 3 is represented as 3 ones.
Example 2:
Input: num = 58 Output: "LVIII" Explanation: L = 50, V = 5, III = 3.
Example 3:
Input: num = 1994 Output: "MCMXCIV" Explanation: M = 1000, CM = 900, XC = 90 and IV = 4.
Constraints:
1 <= num <= 3999
