Crate alpha_counter 

About

alpha-counter is a library providing the AlphaCounter iterator representing an alphabetic counter as would be used for numbering appendices.

It provides convenience methods to create upper and lower ASCII alphabets as well as any alphabet via the custom method. All three constructors enable starting the iterator at any point; although one could also manipulate it via regular Iterator methods.

Example

use alpha_counter::AlphaCounter;

assert_eq!(
    AlphaCounter::lower(0).take(30).collect::<Vec<String>>(),
    vec![
        "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n",
        "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z", "aa", "ab",
        "ac", "ad",
    ],
);

assert_eq!(
    AlphaCounter::upper(0).take(30).collect::<Vec<String>>(),
    vec![
        "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N",
        "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z", "AA", "AB",
        "AC", "AD",
    ],
);

assert_eq!(
    AlphaCounter::custom(0, "abc")
        .take(30)
        .collect::<Vec<String>>(),
    vec![
        "a", "b", "c", "aa", "ab", "ac", "ba", "bb", "bc", "ca", "cb", "cc",
        "aaa", "aab", "aac", "aba", "abb", "abc", "aca", "acb", "acc", "baa",
        "bab", "bac", "bba", "bbb", "bbc", "bca", "bcb", "bcc",
    ],
);
