Convert MADBACE to DECIMAL

MADBACE is a mixed Roman-hexdecimal system. Hexadecimal digits (0-F) take their normal positional values, while Roman numerals (IVXLCDM) have their normal values (1 5 10 50 100 500 1000). The main parts of the challenge is to determine when to subtract and when C and D are Roman versus hexadecimal.

###Rules

Rules

  1. C and D will be Roman if possible.

  2. There can never be more than one subtractive symbol to the left of any symbol.

  3. A subtractive symbol must be less than half the symbol it subtracts from
