words

Encode an integer into a short list of memorable words and decode it back again.

	encoded, _ := Encode(5000)
	decoded, _ := Decode(encoded)
	fmt.Printf("5000 -> %v -> %d", encoded, decoded)
	// Output:
	// 5000 -> [rub fog] -> 5000

For the simple case the list of words will be of variable length - single words for small integers, longer sentences as they get larger. For some use cases having a fixed length of sentence for all valid input integers can be convenient. Including a range in the parameters to Encode will do that.

	encoded, _ := Encode(5000, 0, 10_000_000_000)
	decoded, _ := Decode(encoded, 0)
	fmt.Printf("5000 -> %v -> %d", encoded, decoded)
	// Output:
	// 5000 -> [cannon cannon rub fog] -> 5000

It's slightly more convenient, and slightly more efficient, to create and reuse a Coder to do the same thing.

	coder, _ := New(0, 10_000_000)
	encoded, _ := coder.Encode(42)
	decoded, _ := coder.Decode(encoded)
	fmt.Printf("42 -> %v -> %d", encoded, decoded)
	// Output:
	// 42 -> [cannon cannon tank] -> 42
