Implementation of the bioctal number format
First publication of this article on 14 April 2022
I just wrote an implementation of the bioctal number format, which is specified in RFC 9226 (RFC published on 1st April 2022).
The RFC standardizes a number format
called "bioctal". I let you read the RFC to understand the rationale
of this format. The implementation is written in the
Elixir programming language and is available
in the file bioctal.ex. It provides:
- Sigils (Elixir's way to use literals in various formats; sigils start with a tilde) for input,
- A formatting of numbers in bioctal for output.
An example of input:
IO.puts(~b{23cj}) # Thanks to the sigil ~b, "23cj" will be read as 9097
And an example of output:
IO.puts(format(9097)) # Will print "23cj"
