Question 1

Roman to Integer

Given a roman numeral, convert it to an integer.

Input is guaranteed to be within the range from 1 to 3999.

This problem is not hard, But too many cases you need to consider, the code will be long to read.

Got to this link to look some info. for Roman Number if you are not familiar with them like me. 

Below is the initial one I thougt, 

public class Solution {
    public int romanToInt(String s) {
        
        if (s==null || s.length()<1)
            return 0;
        s = s.trim();
        int i = 0;
        int result = 0;
        while (i < s.length())
        switch(s.charAt(i)){
            case 'I':
                i ++;
                if (i < s.length()){
                    switch(s.charAt(i)){
                        case 'V':
                            result += 4;
                            i ++;
                            break;
                        
                        case 'X':
                            result += 9;
                            i ++;
                            break;
                        default:
                            result += 1;
                            break;
                    }
                }
                else
                    result += 1;
                break;
                
            case 'V':
                i ++;
                result += 5;
                break;
            
            case 'X':
                i ++;
                if (i < s.length()){
                    switch(s.charAt(i)){
                        case 'L':
                            result += 40;
                            i ++;
                            break;
                         
                        case 'C':
                            result += 90;
                            i ++;
                            break;
                            
                        default:
                            result += 10;
                            break;
                    }
                }
                else
                    result += 10;
                break;
            
            case 'L':
                i ++;
                result += 50;
                break;
                
            case 'C':
                i ++;
                if (i < s.length()){
                    switch(s.charAt(i)){
                        case 'D':
                            result += 400;
                            i ++;
                            break;
                      
                        case 'M':
                            result += 900;
                            i ++;
                            break;
                            
                        default:
                            result += 100;
                            break;
                    }
                }
                else
                    result += 100;
                break;
            
            case 'D':
                i ++;
                result += 500;
                break;
                
            case 'M':
                i ++;
                result += 1000;
                break;
            
            default:
                return 0;
        }
        return result;
    }
}

Then I make a better one, seems a litter cleaner.

public class Solution {
    
    public int parseRomanNum(Character c){
        switch (c){
            case 'I':
                return 1;
            case 'V':
                return 5;
            case 'X':
                return 10;
            case 'L':
                return 50;
            case 'C':
                return 100;
            case 'D':
                return 500;
            case 'M':
                return 1000;
            default:
                return 0;
        }
    }
    
    public int romanToInt(String s) {
        
        if (s==null || s.length()<1)
            return 0;
        s = s.trim();
        
        int result = parseRomanNum(s.charAt(0));
        
        for (int i = 1; i < s.length(); i ++){
            int pre = parseRomanNum(s.charAt(i-1));
            int cur = parseRomanNum(s.charAt(i));
            if (pre >= cur)
                result += cur;
            else
                result = result - pre*2 + cur;
        }
        
        return result;
        
    }
    
}
