# Norwegian postal codes (postnummer)

This project contains a library for computations (validation and postal name lookup) on norwegian postal codes in many programming languages. The library works exactly the same in all implementations:

 * Java

 * C

 * C++

 * JavaScript

 * C#

 * PHP

 * Python

 * Visual Basic

Norwegian postal codes is called "postnummer" and "poststed" in norwegian.

The library has been made with [progsbase](https://www.progsbase.com), a tool for creating rot-resistant programs that are translatable to many programming languages.

The library can also be browsed and tested on the [progsbase repository's postnummer page](https://repo.progsbase.com/repoviewer/no.inductive.libraries/postnummer/0.1.1).

## Usage

The library has the same interface in all programming languages.

### Validate

`boolean erGyldigPostnummer(char [] nrString)`

The function takes a string as input, containing a norwegian postal code.

The output is a boolean, true if the number is valid and existing and false if not.

### Get postal place (poststed)

`char [] hentPoststed(char [] nrString, Success feilmelding)`

The function takes a string as input, containing a postal number (postnummer), and a structure for an error status and message.

The output is a string with the postal name.

If the function fails, feilmelding.success is set to false and feilmelding.feilmelding is set to a human readable error message.
