Create a map to store the Roman numerals and their corresponding integer values.
Initialize the total to the value of the last character in the string.
Iterate over the string from the second-to-last character to the first character.
a. For each character, compare its value to the value of the character to its right.
b. If the current character's value is less than the next character's value, subtract it from the total.
c. Otherwise, add the current character's value to the total.
Return the total as the integer representation of the Roman numeral.
