Name

Encode::Positive::Digits - Encode a positive integer using the specified digits and vice-versa

Synopsis

            

              
              
use Encode::Positive::Digits;
ok 101 == Encode::Positive::Digits::encode(  "5", "01");
ok   5 == Encode::Positive::Digits::decode("101", "01");
ok "hello world" eq Encode::Positive::Digits::encode(4830138323689, " abcdefghlopqrw");
ok 4830138323689 == Encode::Positive::Digits::decode("hello world", " abcdefghlopqrw");
            
          

The numbers to be encoded or decoded can be much greater than 2**64 via support from Math::BigInt, such numbers should be placed inside strings to avoid inadvertent truncation.

            

              
              
my $n = '1'.('0'x999).'1';
my $d = Encode::Positive::Digits::decode($n, "01");
my $e = Encode::Positive::Digits::encode($d, "01");
ok $n == $e
ok length($d) ==  302;
ok length($e) == 1001;
ok length($n) == 1001;
            
          

Description

Encode and decode

encode

Returns a string which expresses a positive integer in decimal notation as a string using the specified digits. The specified digits can be any characters chosen from the Unicode character set.

            

              
              
1  $number  Decimal integer
2  $digits  Encoding digits
            
          

decode

Return the integer expressed in decimal notation corresponding to the value of the specified string considered as a number over the specified digits

            

              
              
1  $number  Number to decode
2  $digits  Encoding digits
