pub fn encode(s: &str) -> Result<Vec<u32>, Error>Expand description
Encode a string into PDP-10 RADIX-50 format.
The input string will be space padded to a multiple of 6 characters before encoding. This is because RADIX-50 encodes 6 charaters into a single 32 bit word (36 bits on a PDP-10, but the 4 top bits are unused).
The output is a std::vec::Vec of 32-bit words.
It will return an Error if any of the input characters are not part of the valid RADIX-50 character set.
§Examples
let pdp10_encoded = encode("THIS IS A TEST").unwrap();
assert_eq!(pdp10_encoded, [3119342419, 2970305215, 3046400000]);
let result = encode("This contains invalid characters");
assert_eq!(result, Err(Error::IllegalChar { char: 'h', pos: 2 }));
assert_eq!(encode("PADDING12345").unwrap(), encode("PADDING12345").unwrap());
assert_eq!(encode("PADDING123").unwrap(), encode("PADDING123 ").unwrap());
assert_eq!(encode("PADDING").unwrap(), encode("PADDING ").unwrap());
