G'day thanos1983,

Here's a recursive function that, I believe, achieves what you're after.

#!/usr/bin/env perl -l use strict; use warnings; use constant BASE => ord('A') - 1; use constant MAX => ord('Z') - BASE; my @tests = ( 0 .. 3, 24 .. 28, 26**2+24 .. 26**2+28, 26**3+26**2+24 .. 26**3+26**2+28, ); print "IN: $_ OUT: ", translate($_) for @tests; sub translate { my ($in, $out) = @_; $out ||= []; return join '', @$out if $in == 0; my $mod = $in % MAX || MAX; unshift @$out, chr $mod + BASE; my $new_in = ($in - $mod) / MAX; translate($new_in, $out); }

Output:

IN: 0 OUT: IN: 1 OUT: A IN: 2 OUT: B IN: 3 OUT: C IN: 24 OUT: X IN: 25 OUT: Y IN: 26 OUT: Z IN: 27 OUT: AA IN: 28 OUT: AB IN: 700 OUT: ZX IN: 701 OUT: ZY IN: 702 OUT: ZZ IN: 703 OUT: AAA IN: 704 OUT: AAB IN: 18276 OUT: ZZX IN: 18277 OUT: ZZY IN: 18278 OUT: ZZZ IN: 18279 OUT: AAAA IN: 18280 OUT: AAAB
"I am not posting the code here as it is irrelevant and will only consume space, ..."

A cutdown version might have provided some context. Without that, I don't know exactly how you'd implement this solution. You'll probably want some validation of the input.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
