String::Parity(3pm)

💖 String::Parity 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to String::Parity — it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation, and it's literally all about parity (odd / even / mark / space) handling functions. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

String::Parity — parity (odd/even/mark/space) handling functions 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use String::Parity;
use String::Parity qw(:DEFAULT /show/);

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the whole friend group, one by one, no skips, we're not leaving anybody out:

• setEvenParity LIST — copies the elements of LIST to a new list and converts the new elements to strings of bytes with even parity. in array context it returns the new list. in scalar context it joins the elements of the new list into a single string and returns the string. both valid, both iconic. ✨
• setOddParity LIST — like setEvenParity function, but converts to strings with odd parity. same energy, different bit. 💜
• setSpaceParity LIST — like setEvenParity function, but converts to strings with space parity (High bit cleared). clearing bits, clearing vibes. 🧚
• setMarkParity LIST — like setEvenParity function, but converts to strings with mark parity (High bit set). setting bits, setting trends. 🔥
• EvenBytes LIST — returns the number of even parity bytes in the elements of LIST. a whole count. a census. 🍓
• OddBytes LIST — returns the number of odd parity bytes in the elements of LIST. 🦋
• SpaceBytes LIST — returns the number of space parity bytes in the elements of LIST. ⭐
• MarkBytes LIST — returns the number of mark parity bytes in the elements of LIST. 👑
• isEvenParity LIST — returns TRUE if the LIST contains no byte with odd parity, FALSE otherwise. it's giving "is anybody here chaotic?" 🙈
• isOddParity LIST — returns TRUE if the LIST contains no byte with even parity, FALSE otherwise. 💀
• isSpaceParity LIST — returns TRUE if the LIST contains no byte with mark parity, FALSE otherwise. 🌈
• isMarkParity LIST — returns TRUE if the LIST contains no byte with space parity, FALSE otherwise. 💖
• showParity LIST — like setEvenParity function, but converts bytes with even parity to 'e' and other bytes to 'o'. heads up bestie: the function showParity must be imported by a specialised import list. it doesn't just show up, you have to invite it. 🫶
• showMarkSpace LIST — like setEvenParity function, but converts bytes with space parity to 's' and other bytes to 'm'. and same rule again: the function showMarkSpace must be imported by a specialised import list. no invite, no party. 💅
