in reply to How to test for sameness on a string of numbers

unpack the string into its three parts, sort the parts and join them again and test the so re-assembled strings. This is a general algorithm: transform variable data into their canonical form and check that.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
