Numerical and alphabetical suffixes

From Rosetta Code
Revision as of 16:43, 6 November 2018 by rosettacode>Craigd (→‎{{header|zkl}}: added a few more test cases)
Numerical and alphabetical suffixes is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

This task is about expressing numbers with an attached (abutted) suffix multiplier(s),   the suffix(es) could be:

  •   an alphabetic (named) multiplier which could be abbreviated
  •    metric  multiplier(s) which can be specified multiple times
  •   "binary" multiplier(s) which can be specified multiple times
  •   explanation marks (!) which indicate a factorial or multifactorial


The (decimal) numbers can be expressed generally as:

             {±}   {digits}   {.}   {digits}
                                 ────── or ──────
             {±}   {digits}   {.}   {digits}   {E or e}   {±}   {digits}

where:

  •   numbers won't have embedded blanks   (contrary to the expaciated examples above where whitespace was used for readability)
  •   this task will only be dealing with decimal numbers,   both in the   mantissa   and   exponent
  •   ±   indicates an optional plus or minus sign   (+   or   -)
  •   digits are the decimal digits   (0 ──► 9)
  •   the digits can have comma(s) interjected to separate the   periods   (thousands)   such as:   12,467,000
  •   .   is the decimal point, sometimes also called a   dot
  •   e   or   E   denotes the use of decimal exponentiation   (a number multiplied by raising ten to some power)


This isn't a pure or perfect definition of the way we express decimal numbers,   but it should convey the intent for this task.

The use of the word   periods   (thousands) is not meant to confuse, that word (as used above) is what the comma separates;
the groups of decimal digits are called periods,   and in almost all cases, are groups of three decimal digits.

If an   e   or   E   is specified, there must be a legal number expressed before it,   and there must be a legal (exponent) expressed after it.

Also, there must be some digits expressed in all cases,   not just a sign and/or decimal point.

Superfluous signs, decimal points, exponent numbers, and zeros   need not be preserved.

I.E.:       +7   007   7.00   7E-0   7E000   70e-1     could all be expressed as 7

All numbers to be "expanded" can be assumed to be valid and there won't be a requirement to verify their validity.


Abbreviated alphabetic suffixes to be supported   (where the capital letters signify the minimum abbreation that can be used)
     PAIRs         multiply the number by  2         (as in pairs of shoes or pants)
     SCOres        multiply the number by  20        (as 3score would be 60)
     DOZens        multiply the number by  12
     GRoss         multiply the number by  144       (twelve dozen)
     GREATGRoss    multiply the number by  1,728     (a dozen gross)
     GOOGOLs       multiply the number by  10^100    (ten raised to the 100&sup>th power)


Note that the plurals are supported, even though they're usually used when expressing exact numbers   (She has 2 dozen eggs, and dozens of quavas)

     Y     multiply the number by  10^24             yotta     (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)
     X     multiply the number by  10^27             xenta     (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)
     W     multiply the number by  10^30             wekta     (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)
     V     multiply the number by  10^33             vendeka   (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)
     U     multiply the number by  10^36             udekta    (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)

All of the metric and binary suffixes can be expressed in   lowercase,   uppercase,   or   mixed case.

All of the metric and binary suffixes can be   stacked   (expressed multiple times),   and also be intermixed:
I.E.:       123k   123K   123GKi   12.3GiGG   12.3e-7T   .78E100e


Factorial suffixes to be supported
     !      compute the (regular) factorial product:   5!   is  5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1  =  120
     !!     compute the  double   factorial product:   8!   is  8 × 6 × 4 × 2      =  384
     !!!    compute the  triple   factorial product:   8!   is  8 × 5 × 2          =   80
     !!!!   compute the quadruple factorial product:   8!   is  8 × 4              =   32
     !!!!!  compute the quintuple factorial product:   8!   is  8 × 3              =   24
     ··· the number of factorial symbols that can be specified is to be unlimited   (as per what can be entered/typed) ···


Note that these factorial products aren't   super─factorials   where (4!)! would be (24)!.

Factorial suffixes aren't, of course, the usual type of multipliers, but are used here in a similar vein.


Multifactorials aren't to be confused with   super─factorials     where   (4!)!   would be   (24)!.


Task
  •   Using the test cases (below),   show the "expanded" numbers here, on this page.
  •   For each list, show the input on one line,   and also show the output on one line.
  •   When showing the input line, keep the spaces (whitespace) and case (capitalizations) as is.
  •   For each result (list) displayed on one line, separate each number with two blanks.
  •   Add commas to the output numbers were appropriate.

    25.123kK    25.123m   2.5123e-00002G

EBNF

This solution uses Factor's extended Backus-Naur form (EBNF) language to define a grammar for parsing numerical/alphabetical suffix numbers. The goal was to describe as much of the suffix-number as possible in a declarative manner, minimizing the use of actions (Factor code that is run on a rule before being added to the abstract syntax tree) and helper functions. The biggest departure from this goal was to parse the metric/binary suffixes based on their index in a collection, as this method is less verbose than defining a rule for each suffix. <lang factor>USING: formatting fry grouping kernel literals math math.functions math.parser math.ranges multiline peg.ebnf quotations qw sequences sequences.deep splitting strings unicode ; IN: rosetta-code.numerical-suffixes.ebnf

Perl 6

Works with: Rakudo version 2018.09

Scientific notation, while supported in Perl 6, is limited to IEEE-754 64bit accuracy so there is some rounding on values using it. Implements a custom "high precision" conversion routine.

Unfortunately, this suffix routine is of limited use for practical everyday purposes. It focuses on handling excessively large and archaic units (googol, greatgross) and completely ignores or makes unusable (due to forcing case insensitivity) many common current ones: c(centi), m(milli), μ(micro). Ah well.

Note: I am blatantly and deliberately ignoring the task guidelines for formatting the output. It has no bearing on the core of the task. If you really, really, REALLY want to see badly formatted output, uncomment the last line.

<lang perl6>use Rat::Precise;

   my ($whole, $frac) = $i.split('.');
   $frac = $frac.defined ?? ".$frac" !! ;
   $s ~ $whole.abs.flip.comb(3).join(',').flip ~ $frac

}
