Number list range compression: duplicates split a run · case 04
A repeated number produces a singleton followed by a run.
Case contract
Input a list of digit strings. Deduplicate and sort by (length, text). Consecutive numbers of equal length (each one greater than the previous) form a run. A run of one is emitted as is; a longer run is emitted as START-TAIL where TAIL is END without the prefix it shares with START.
Why this case matters
Number inventories are displayed and exported as compressed ranges; a wrong run boundary or tail misstates which numbers are owned.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| duplicates inside a run | ["5550145", "5550145-6"] | ["5550145-6"] | Failed |
