var romanToInt = function(s) {
  const romanNumerals = {
    I: 1,
    V: 5,
    X: 10,
    L: 50,
    C: 100,
    D: 500,
    M: 1000
  };

  if (s.length < 1) return null;

  let result = romanNumerals[s[s.length - 1]];
  for (let i = 0; i < s.length - 1; i++) {
    if (romanNumerals[s[i]] < romanNumerals[s[i + 1]]) {
      result -= romanNumerals[s[i]];
    } else {
      result += romanNumerals[s[i]];
    }
  }

  return result;
};

Step 1：先建立一個 object 儲存羅馬數字的對照表

Step 2：判斷如果是只有一位數的則直接回傳 null

Step 3：先將字串的最後一位的羅馬數字對照 romanNumerals，得出數字後儲存到 result。使用迴圈遍歷字串 s ，如果遍歷的值小於下一位的值，則 result 相減，反之相加。最後回傳 result
