No, if you write 2 on a piece of paper as Z, and rotate the paper 180 degrees, you'll still see Z, representing 2. On Thu, Oct 3, 2019 at 12:18 PM Andres Valloud < avalloud@smalltalk.comcastbiz.net> wrote:
So you really meant to map 0125689 to 0152986?

Out of two strings matching [0125689]{5}, where the second string corresponds to the upside-down reading of the first, no more than one string will be a valid zip code.

Regarding the subject, it appears US (basic) zip codes are effectively character digit strings of length 5 (that is, [0-9]{5}). Some state there are 42k active zip codes, presumably of the five digit variety.
