NAME

Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps -- iterations of length in characters

SYNOPSIS

use Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps;
my $seq = Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps->new;
my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;

DESCRIPTION

In progress ...

This is a count of how many times iterating i -> AlphabeticalLength(i) until reaching a cycle.

i     = 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 
value = 3, 3, 2, 0, 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, ...

In English "four" and has 4 letters, so at i=4 the value is 0 for no steps to reach a cycle. Then for example i=6 "six" is 3 letters, "three" is 5 letters, "five" is 4 letters, taking 3 steps to reach the cycle at 4->4.

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence classes.

$seq = Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps->new ()

$seq = Math::NumSeq::AlphabeticalLengthSteps->new (language => $str)

Create and return a new sequence object.

$value = $seq->ith($i)

Return the number of letters in $i written out in the selected language.
