Geohash
Geohashes are used to represent standard latitude and longitude coordinates as single values in the form of a simple string -- using the digits (0-9) and the letters (B-Z excluding I, L, O). They can vary in length, with more characters in the string representing more precision.
- Task
Generate a Geohash with a desired precision from a coordinate represented as an array of two floating point numbers, latitude and longitude. (Ideally double precision).
- Example 1:
- print (encodeGeohash (for: [51.433718, -0.214126], withPrecision: 2))
- // Result: "gc" (all of Ireland, most of England and Wales, small part of Scotland)
- Example 2:
- print (encodeGeohash (for: [51.433718, -0.214126], withPrecision: 9))
- // Result: "gcpue5hp4" (the umpire's chair on Center Court at Wimbledon)
From the Wikipedia page, geohashes can be "useful in database systems where queries on a single index are much easier or faster than multiple-index queries."
- Extra credit
Provide a decode function to convert a geohash code back to latitude and longitude, expressed either as ranges or in median +/- deviation format.

Not surprisingly, given the area it covers, "gc" is not even accurate to one significant digit, but a precision of 9 is accurate to 5 or 6 significant decimal digits, 11 to 6 or 7 digits, and 22 exceeds the natural 10 sig digs of %v. Note that 32-bit gives a last character of 'q' for the precision 22 test, for obvious reasons. The above results are from using the 64-bit interpreter.

Roll your own
Alternately, a roll-your-own version that will work with any Real coordinate, not just floating point values, and thus can return ridiculous precision. The geo-decode routine returns the range in which the actual value will be found; converted here to the mid-point with the interval size. Probably better to specify an odd precision so the error interval ends up the same for both latitude and longitude.
<lang perl6>my @Geo32 = <0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 b c d e f g h j k m n p q r s t u v w x y z>;
sub geo-encode ( Rat(Real) $latitude, Rat(Real) $longitude, Int $precision = 9 ) {
my @coord = $latitude, $longitude; my @range = [-90, 90], [-180, 180]; my $which = 1; my $value = ; while $value.chars < $precision * 5 { my $mid = @range[$which].sum / 2; $value ~= my $upper = +(@coord[$which] > $mid); @range[$which][not $upper] = $mid; $which = not $which; } @Geo32[$value.comb(5)».parse-base(2)].join;
}
sub geo-decode ( Str $geo ) {
my @range = [-90, 90], [-180, 180]; my $which = 1; my %Geo32 = @Geo32.antipairs; for %Geo32{$geo.comb}».fmt('%05b').join.comb { @range[$which][$_] = @range[$which].sum / 2; $which = not $which; } @range
