constexpr char_type	to_char () const noexcept
	Return the letter as a character of char_type.
constexpr rank_type	to_rank () const noexcept
	Return the letter's numeric value (rank in the alphabet).
constexpr mask &	assign_char (char_type const chr) noexcept
	Assign from a character, implicitly converts invalid characters.
constexpr mask &	assign_rank (rank_type const c) noexcept
	Assign from a numeric value.

Static Public Attributes
Boolean values
Static member "booleans" that can be assigned to the alphabet or used in aggregate initialization. Similar to an Enum interface.
static mask const	unmasked {mask{}.assign_rank(0)}
	Member for unmasked.
static mask const	masked {mask{}.assign_rank(1)}
	Member for masked.
Static Public Attributes inherited from seqan3::alphabet_base< mask, 2, void >
static constexpr detail::min_viable_uint_t< size >	alphabet_size
	The size of the alphabet, i.e. the number of different values it can take.

Additional Inherited Members
Protected Types inherited from seqan3::alphabet_base< mask, 2, void >
using	char_type = std::conditional_t< std::same_as< void, void >, char, void >
	The char representation; conditional needed to make semi alphabet definitions legal.
using	rank_type = detail::min_viable_uint_t< size - 1 >
	The type of the alphabet when represented as a number (e.g. via to_rank()).

Detailed Description

Implementation of a masked alphabet to be used for tuple composites.

This alphabet is not usually used directly, but instead via seqan3::masked.
