Help with creating a class

I need to create a class to use with another program that will take regular numbers and convert them to roman numerals. So far I have this:

   public class Roman {
      public Roman(String r){
 
         char c = r.charAt(0);
         int value;
 
         if(c=='I') value=1;
         else if(c=='V') value=5;
         else if(c=='X') value=10;
         else if(c=='L') value=50;
         else if(c=='C') value=100;
         else if(c=='D') value=500;
         else if(c=='M') value=1000;
 
      }
      public void printRoman(){
 
      System.out.println();
      }
      public void printInt(){
 
      System.out.println();
      }
   }

I know i need a loop for the if else if part, but I'm not too sure on what that loop is. Also, i need code after the printRoman part, but I don't know that either. If someone could point me in the right direction, that'd be great.

Write out how you'd do this "by hand". Come up with very specific directions that you could give to somebody who doesn't know anything about roman numerals. When you have that, converting it to code should be pretty simple.

Okay. And what would you like the loop to do? We can't really answer general "how do I do this" type questions except to point you to google and the basic tutorials.
