Encoding and decoding

encode :: Eq a => Code a b -> a -> Maybe [b]

Encodes a value as a sequence of letters in the code alphabet.

encodeNext :: Eq a => Code a b -> a -> [b] -> [b]

Encodes a value and append it to the sequence provided. If the value cannot be encoded, the sequence is returned unmodified.

decode :: Eq b => Code a b -> [b] -> Maybe a

Returns the value corresponding to a sequence of letters in the code alphabet.

decodeNext :: Eq b => Code a b -> [b] -> Maybe (a, [b])

Decodes a value from a sequence, and returns the value and the unused portion of the sequence.
