use strict; use warnings; use List::Util qw(sum); use constant OFFS => 1 - ord 'a'; use constant BASE => ord("z") - ord("a") + 1; sub alphabetic_to_base10 { local $_ = reverse shift; my $fac = 1; sum map +( (OFFS+ord $_)*$fac, $fac*=BASE )[0], /./g; } printf "$_: %d\n", alphabetic_to_base10($_) for qw[a z aa az ba zz aaa + zba]; __END__ a: 1 z: 26 aa: 27 az: 52 ba: 53 zz: 702 aaa: 703 zba: 17629
Update: OFFS has to be 1 - ord 'a', not - ord 'a', of course.

Makeshifts last the longest.

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.
