VERSION

This document describes version 0.003 of List::Rank (from Perl distribution List-Rank), released on 2023-10-29.

SYNOPSIS

Return the ranks of the elements if sorted numerically (note that equal values will be given equal ranks):

my @ranks = rank 10, 30, 20, 20; # => 1, 4, "2=", "2="

Return the ranks of the elements if sorted ascibetically:

my @ranks = rankstr "apricot", "cucumber", "banana", "banana"; # => 1,4,"2=","2="

Return the ranks of the elements if sorted by a custom sorter:

my @ranks = rankby {length($a) <=> length($b)}
    "apricot", "cucumber", "banana", "banana"; # => 3, 4, "1=", "1="

Sort the list numerically and return the elements as well as ranks in pairs:

my @res = sortrank 10, 30, 20, 20; # => 10,1, 20,"2=", 20,"2=", 30,4

Sort the list ascibetically and return the elements as well as ranks in pairs:

my @res = sortrankstr "apricot", "cucumber", "banana", "banana";
    # => "apricot",1, "banana","2=", "banana","2=", "cucumber",4

Sort the list by a custom sorter and return the elements as well as ranks in pairs:

my @res = sortrankby {length($a) <=> length($b)} "apricot", "cucumber", "banana", "banana";

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
