the rules
The four rules
- I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1000.
- A numeral repeats at most three times (III, XXX, CCC); V, L and D never repeat.
- A smaller numeral before a larger one is subtracted: IV = 4, IX = 9, XL = 40, XC = 90, CD = 400, CM = 900. Only I, X and C are subtracted, and only from the next two values.
- Everything else is added, from largest to smallest, left to right.
