Lexorank Generator Library

This Golang library provides utilities to generate Lexorank codes, which are used for ordering items in a way that allows efficient insertion of new items between existing ones. The library offers two main functions:

1. Rank(prev string, next string) string - Generates a single Lexorank code between two given ranks.
2. RankN(prev string, next string, n int) []string - Generates multiple Lexorank codes between two given ranks.

Installation

To install the library, use the following command:

go get github.com/danghh-1998/lexorank

Usage

Import the library in your Go code:

import "github.com/danghh-1998/lexorank"

Generating a Single Lexorank

Use the Rank function to generate a Lexorank code between two existing ranks:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/danghh-1998/lexorank"
)

func main() {
    prev := "a"
    next := "b"
    rank := lexorank.Rank(prev, next)
    fmt.Println("Generated Lexorank:", rank)
}

Generating Multiple Lexoranks

Use the RankN function to generate multiple Lexorank codes between two existing ranks:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/danghh-1998/lexorank"
)

func main() {
    prev := "a"
    next := "b"
    n := 5
    ranks := lexorank.RankN(prev, next, n)
    fmt.Println("Generated Lexoranks:", ranks)
}

API Reference

Rank

func Rank(prev string, next string) string

• prev: The previous Lexorank code.
• next: The next Lexorank code.

Generates a single Lexorank code between prev and next.

RankN

func RankN(prev string, next string, n int) []string

• prev: The previous Lexorank code.
• next: The next Lexorank code.
• n: The number of Lexorank codes to generate.

Generates n Lexorank codes between prev and next.
