NAME

Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps -- iterations of length in characters

SYNOPSIS

 use Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps;
 my $seq = Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps->new;
 my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;

DESCRIPTION

This is a count of how many times iterating i -> AlphabeticalLength(i) until reaching a cycle.

    i     = 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 
    value = 3, 3, 2, 0, 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, ...

For example i=6="six" is 3 letters, then 3="three" is 5 letters, 5="five" is 4 letters, and 4="four" is its own length. This took 3 steps to reach the cycle at 4->4. At i=4 the value is 0 for no steps to reach a cycle "four"=4.

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence classes.

$seq = Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps->new ()

$seq = Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps->new (lang => $str)

Create and return a new sequence object.

Random Access

$value = $seq->ith($i)

Return the number times to apply AlphabeticalLength until reaching a cycle.
