Nat-to-hex-chars

Convert a natural number into a list of hexadecimal bits.

Signature

(nat-to-hex-chars n) → chars

Arguments

n — Guard (natp n).

Returns

chars — Type (hex-digit-char-list*p chars).

For instance, (nat-to-hex-chars 31) is (#\1 #\F).

This is like ACL2's built-in function explode-nonnegative-integer, except that it doesn't deal with accumulators and is limited to base-16 numbers. These simplifications lead to particularly nice rules, e.g., about hex-digit-chars-value, and somewhat better performance:

;; Times reported by an AMD FX-8350, Linux, 64-bit CCL:

;; .732 seconds, 942 MB allocated
(progn (gc$)
       (time (loop for i fixnum from 1 to 10000000 do
                   (str::nat-to-hex-chars i))))

;; 3.71 seconds, 942 MB allocated
(progn (gc$)
       (time (loop for i fixnum from 1 to 10000000 do
          (explode-nonnegative-integer i 16 nil))))
