Function radix50::pdp11::encode_word

pub fn encode_word(s: &str) -> Result<u16, Error>

Encode 3 characters into a PDP-11 RADIX-50 formatted word.

If the string is shorter than 3 characters then the missing characters are assumed to be spaces.

The output is a single 16-bit word.

It will return an Error if any of the input characters are not part of the valid RADIX-50 character set.

Examples

let pdp11_encoded = encode_word("ABC").unwrap();
assert_eq!(pdp11_encoded, 1683);

assert_eq!(encode_word("AA").unwrap(), encode_word("AA ").unwrap());
assert_eq!(encode_word("A").unwrap(),  encode_word("A  ").unwrap());
assert_eq!(encode_word("").unwrap(),   encode_word("   ").unwrap());

let result = encode_word("AB-");
assert_eq!(result, Err(Error::IllegalChar { char: '-', pos: 3 }))
