Step-by-step explanation

1. Parse Roman numeral to integer input

$C L X I I I$

Parse and normalize the Roman numeral input, then validate its canonical form and range.

2. Expand Roman tokens into values

$C = 100$

$L = 50$

$X = 10$

$I = 1$

$C (100) + L (50) + X (10) + I (1) + I (1) + I (1) = 100 + 50 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1$

Scan the Roman numeral left-to-right, convert each token (single symbol or subtractive pair) into a numeric value, and prepare the additive expansion.

3. Conclude integer result

$100 + 50 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 163$

$C L X I I I = 163$

Add the expanded values to get the final integer and restate the canonical Roman-to-integer equality.
