Roman Numerals help

[umaza]

I have to convert Roman Numerals to a Decimal Number, I got how to do it, but don't know to restrict somethings,

There is a rule that one symbol cannot repeat more than three times at once, so XIIII should not work, instead it should be XIV, but I do not know how to do this.

I put an if statement within the for loop in class Translate, method numeral, but it does not work.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;


public class RomanNumeral
{
  public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
  {  
    BufferedReader objReader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
    
    
    for (;;) 
    {
      System.out.println();
      System.out.println("Enter roman numeral numbers:");
      String romanNumeral = objReader.readLine();
      
      Translate arabNumeral = new Translate(romanNumeral);
      
      String finalOut = arabNumeral.getNumeral();
      
      System.out.println("The conversion is:");
      System.out.println(finalOut);  
    }
    
    
  } 
}

class Translate
{
  private String word, roman, result;
  private int length, addition = 0;
  
  
  Translate(String roman)
  {
    this.roman = roman;
    numeral();
  }
