-module(chapter7). -export([breverse/1, term_to_packet/1, packet_to_term/1, reverse_byte/1, reverse_bits/1, reverse_bitlist/1, test/0]). %% Exercises %% 1. Write a function that reverses the order of bytes in a binary. breverse(Bin) -> binary:list_to_bin(lists:reverse(binary:bin_to_list(Bin))). %% 2. Write a function term_to_packet(Term) -> Packet that returns a %% binary consisting of a 4-byte length header N followed by N %% bytes of data produced by calling term_to_binary(Term). %% Need to packetize term_to_packet(Term) -> BinaryTerm = erlang:term_to_binary(Term), Length = erlang:byte_size(BinaryTerm), <>. %% 3. Write the inverse function packet_to_term(Packet) -> Term that %% is the inverse of the previous function. packet_to_term(<>) -> erlang:binary_to_term(BinaryTerm). packet_test(Term) -> Term = packet_to_term(term_to_packet(Term)). %% 4. Write some tests in the style of Adding Tests to Your Code, on %% page 46, to test that the previous two functions can correctly %% encode terms into packets and recover the original terms by %% decoding the packets. test() -> Squared = fun (X) -> X * X end, packet_test(Squared), packet_test(32), packet_test(<<"Goodbye, Joe.">>), <<0:7, 1:1>> = reverse_byte(<<1:1, 0:7>>). %% 5. Write a function to reverse the bits in a binary. reverse_byte(<>) -> <>; reverse_byte(<<>>) -> <<>>. reverse_bitlist([]) -> []; reverse_bitlist([H|T]) -> [reverse_byte(H) || reverse_bitlist(T)]. reverse_bits(Binary) -> erlang:list_to_binary(reverse_bitlist(erlang:binary_to_list(Binary))).
