in reply to Incrementing strings revisited: What do i miss? [SOLVED]

Update2: Reset state to UNSOLVED

Why?

Anyway, I think what's confusing, at least to me, is that B=0; and I find what soonix said above is key (emphasis mine): "Counting B ... Z (without A) is like counting 1 ... 9 (without 0)."

How about this:

use feature 'state'; use Math::Fleximal; sub getnext { state $num = Math::Fleximal->new("A", [qw/A B C D F G H J K L M N P Q R S T V X Y Z/]); do { $num=$num->add("B") } until $num->to_str!~/A/; return $num->to_str; } print getnext."\n" for 1 .. 1000; __END__ B C D ... Y Z BB BC BD ... ZY ZZ BBB BBC ...

    "Why?"

    Because i didn't understand it.

    "How about this?"

    I begin to see it clearer now. And thanks for the example with state in action.

    Thank you and best regards, Karl
