Category:Factor-numspec

Factor-numspec is a vocabulary that aims to make tasks involving the restriction of digits within numbers easy. This vocabulary was made because there are a fair number of tasks on Rosetta Code involving this operation and more being added all the time.

To use it yourself, copy the source code (in the talk page) to a text file called numspec.factor and then save it in a sub-directory called numspec inside your work directory. work is in the same directory as the Factor executable.

Finally, in your program, make sure to add numspec to your USING: like so:

<lang factor>USING: math numspec prettyprint ;</lang>

Examples

It's important to remember that a number specification defines a named lazy list constant. Whether the list ends or not depends on whether you end the specification with ....

Get all three-digit numbers beginning and ending with 3: <lang factor>USING: lists numspec prettyprint ; DIGIT: _ 0123456789 NUMSPEC: a 3_3 ; a list>array .</lang>

{ 303 313 323 333 343 353 363 373 383 393 }

Literals can be added where necessary. Let's make special cases for one- and two-digit numbers. <lang factor>USING: lists numspec prettyprint ; DIGIT: _ 0123456789 NUMSPEC: b 3 33 3_3 ; b list>array .</lang>

{ 3 33 303 313 323 333 343 353 363 373 383 393 }

But what if you don't want to make a case for every number of digits? Got you covered! ... rudimentarily infers the pattern. <lang factor>USING: lists lists.lazy numspec prettyprint ; DIGIT: _ 0123456789 NUMSPEC: c 3 33 3_3 ... ; c [ 3030 < ] lwhile list>array .</lang>

{ 3 33 303 313 323 333 343 353 363 373 383 393 3003 3013 3023 }

Since this is an infinite list, we need to remember to limit it in some fashion (like with lwhile).

Numbers with only prime digits: <lang factor>USING: lists lists.lazy numspec prettyprint ; DIGIT: P 2357 NUMSPEC: d P PP ... ; 20 d ltake list>array .</lang>

{ 2 3 5 7 22 23 25 27 32 33 35 37 52 53 55 57 72 73 75 77 }

2 and 5 surrounded by 9s: <lang factor>USING: lists lists.lazy numspec prettyprint ; DIGIT: V 25 NUMSPEC: e 9 99 9V9 ... ; 30 e ltake list>array .</lang>
