Hey, happy campers; you may think my 1420 case statements are a bit extreme;
and when you refelct that variants on them are reduplicated across some 500
objects my phrase about "seeing purple bananas" may seem more reasonable :)
HOWEVER, right now I have a problem that has been stumping me for a bit
and I don't really quite know why.
It goes like this:
I have a string of characters in a language that go something like this:
ZaXbbdsfZvfghXaasn
now I have to "translate" those into a different type of representation; and
the 3 "rubs" are these:
1. everytime I encounter a Z it must be moved after the next symbol's
representation in the translation,
2. everytime I encounter an X it must be moved before the preceding
symbol's representation in the translation,
3. some of the symbols represented in the original string are
represented in translation by a single symbol,
some by double symbols, and a few by triple symbols.
I started by nipping off the first char in the starting string . . . and
have spent a long and fruitless day.
I would be extremely grateful with something that I feel is probably
quite easy if I could just get my brains unknotted.
Richmond.
