A mesh defining a surface has uniquely numbered vertices, and named,
simple-polygonal faces described usually by an ordered list of edge numbers
going around the face,

For example:
External image of two faces  
Rough textual version without edges:

```


      1         
                        17
 7   A
             B

       11                     
                  23


```

* A is the triangle (1, 11, 7), or equally (7, 11, 1), going anti-clockwise, or

any of all the rotations of those ordered vertices.

```
      1         
                        
 7   A
            

       11
```

* B is the four-sided face (1, 17, 23, 11), or equally (23, 17, 1, 11) or any

of their rotations.

```
1         
                  17

       B

 11                     
            23
```

Let's call the above the **perimeter format** as it traces around the perimeter.

A second format

A separate algorithm returns polygonal faces consisting of a face name and an unordered
set of edge definitions for each face.

* A single edge is described by the vertex numbers at its two ends, always in

ascending order.

* All edges for the face are given, but in an undefined order.

For example face A could be described by the edges (1, 11), (7, 11), and (1, 7)
(The order of each vertex number in an edge is ascending, but the order in
which the edges are stated is arbitrary).

Similarly face B could be described by the edges (11, 23), (1, 17), (17, 23),
and (1, 11) in arbitrary order of the edges.

Let's call this second format the **edge format**.

Task

**1.** Write a routine to check if two perimeter formatted faces have the same perimeter. Use it to check if the following pairs of perimeters are the same:

```
 Q: (8, 1, 3)
 R: (1, 3, 8)

 U: (18, 8, 14, 10, 12, 17, 19)
 V: (8, 14, 10, 12, 17, 19, 18)

```

**2.** Write a routine and use it to transform the following faces from edge to perimeter format.

```
 E: {(1, 11), (7, 11), (1, 7)}
 F: {(11, 23), (1, 17), (17, 23), (1, 11)}
 G: {(8, 14), (17, 19), (10, 12), (10, 14), (12, 17), (8, 18), (18, 19)}
 H: {(1, 3), (9, 11), (3, 11), (1, 11)}

```

sub edge-to-periphery (@a is copy) {
    return Nil unless @a.List.Bag.values.all == 2;
    my @b = @a.shift.flat;
    while @a > 1 {
        for @a.kv -> $k, $v {
            if $v[0] == @b.tail {
                @b.push: $v[1];

say 'Perimeter format equality checks:';

for (8, 1, 3), (1, 3, 8),
    (18, 8, 14, 10, 12, 17, 19), (8, 14, 10, 12, 17, 19, 18)
  -> $a, $b {
     say "({$a.join: ', '})  equivalent to  ({$b.join: ', '})? ",

say "\nEdge to perimeter format translations:";

for ((1, 11), (7, 11), (1, 7)),
    ((11, 23), (1, 17), (17, 23), (1, 11)),
    ((8, 14), (17, 19), (10, 12), (10, 14), (12, 17), (8, 18), (18, 19)),

  {
    .gist.print;
    say "  ==>  ({.&edge-to-periphery || 'Invalid edge format'})";
}

```

Output:

```
Perimeter format equality checks:
(8, 1, 3)  equivalent to  (1, 3, 8)? True
(18, 8, 14, 10, 12, 17, 19)  equivalent to  (8, 14, 10, 12, 17, 19, 18)? True

Edge to perimeter format translations:
((1 11) (7 11) (1 7))  ==>  (1 11 7)
((11 23) (1 17) (17 23) (1 11))  ==>  (11 23 17 1)
((8 14) (17 19) (10 12) (10 14) (12 17) (8 18) (18 19))  ==>  (8 14 10 12 17 19 18)
((1 3) (9 11) (3 11) (1 11))  ==>  (Invalid edge format)
