FA-96743 / Phone number formatting / Member archive
Number list range compression: numbers are sorted as text · case 03
"100" sorts before "98".
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| different lengths do not join | ["100-1", "98-9"] | ["98-9", "100-1"] | Failed |
