A crate to convert any integer from one numeral system to another.
Two numeral systems must be defined : one for the input number and one for the output. Any integer (of any length) can then be converted from one system to the other and vice-versa. This library uses an extension of double dabble algorithm (and reverse double dabble) to convert numbers. Binary is used as a pivot radix. It was named after french singer (and also mathematician) Boby Lapointe who invented the Bibi-binary system in 1968.
Exemple
extern crate bibicode;
let dec = bibicode::NumeralSystem::new(vec!(vec!("0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"))).unwrap();
let bibi = bibicode::NumeralSystem::new(vec!(vec!("HO", "HA", "HE", "HI", "BO", "BA", "BE", "BI", "KO", "KA", "KE", "KI", "DO", "DA", "DE", "DI"))).unwrap();
let coder = bibicode::BibiCoder::new(dec, bibi);
let test = coder.swap("2000").unwrap();
assert_eq!(test, "BIDAHO");
let bibi = bibicode::NumeralSystem::new(vec!(vec!("H", "B", "K", "D"), vec!("O", "A", "E", "I"))).unwrap();
let dec = bibicode::NumeralSystem::new(vec!(vec!("0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"))).unwrap();
let coder = bibicode::BibiCoder::new(dec, bibi);
let test = coder.swap("2000").unwrap();
assert_eq!(test, "BIDAHO");
