Jarvis\Math\Bijective

Bijective encodes any integer into a base(n) string where n is alphabet's length. It can be very useful if you want to create your own url shortener.

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$bijective = new \Jarvis\Math\Bijective();

echo $bijective->alphabet(); // print 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'

echo $bijective->encode('64'); // print 'bc'

echo $bijective->decode('ba'); // print '62'

$bijective = new \Jarvis\Math\Bijective('azerty');

echo $bijective->alphabet(); // print 'azerty'

Things you should know:

• Bijective default alphabet is abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789. You can define your own alphabet by passing it to its constructor.
• Bijective throws exception if you try to decode unsupported char.
• Bijective throws exception if you try to decode string which start by a zero value (the first char of your defined alphabet. Given the bijective with alphabet '!?:;', the zero value is '!').
• every exception throws by Bijective is instance of \LogicException.
