wordmash

Crate that allows arithmetic operations on strings by representing them as numbers in a specialised Masher alphabet.

This is done through the Masher struct, which can construct "numbers" from all types implementing Mashable trait and perform arithmetics by reverting them back base10. On the "backend", wordmash uses rug crate for arbitrary-precision integers (after all, Masher numbers in decimal tend to be very long).

Right now, Masher only accepts unsigned integers, strings and string slices. The latter two must only contain uppercase English letters and symbols '_-,.!?, as well as spaces ( ). Here's an example:

use wordmash::masher::Masher;

fn main() {
    let mut initial: Masher = Masher::new("THIS IS A LONGER STRING").unwrap();
    let words: Vec<&str> = vec!["EYES", "OF", "CORPORATE INSIGHT"];
    for i in words {
        let new = Masher::new(i).unwrap();
        initial += new;
        println!("{}", initial);
    }
}

Running this will result in

THIS IS A LONGER STV?RY
THIS IS A LONGER STV?!,
THIS IVNSOZ!NZJRH?D.FFO
