sub make_iter { my ($base) = @_; my $num = Math::BigInt->new(1); my @digits = 1; # -1 represents zero. my @powers = Math::BigInt->new(1); return sub { if ($digits[-1] > 0) { push @digits, -1; push @powers, $powers[-1] * $base; } for (0..$#digits) { $digits[$_] = -$digits[$_]; $num += $digits[$_] * $powers[$_]; return $num if $digits[$_] > 0; } }; }
is probably faster as
sub make_iter { my ($base) = @_; my $num = Math::BigInt->new(1); return sub { $num->binc; return Math::BigInt->new( $num->as_bin() =~ s/^0?b//r ); }; }
with a fast back-end.
