Re^2: mapping 10 -> 4 equally.

FWIW: this is what I came up with yesterday after anonymonk prompted me into getting my mind around what I was trying to describe in the OP:

$x = join'', shuffle map{ ($_)x10 } 'a'..'j'; 
print $x;;
ahgbjgbcjjgbbfdiadeehgdhcijjebaaegehccdfdbejcgdhehcbehdgcihiffgefjijab
+fbjadfaaiiiahfegihdgdaccicffjb

$y = $x; 
$y =~ tr[abcdefgh][12341234]; 
print $y;;

$i=0; $j=0; 
$y =~ s[([ij])]{ $1 eq 'i' ? ( ($i^=1) ? '1' : '2' ) : ( ($j^=1) ? '3'
+ : '4') }ge; 
print $y;;

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I'm with torvalds on this Agile (and TDD) debunked I told'em LLVM was the way to go. But did they listen!
