Find the IP address class [FINALIZED]

+4
−0

Task

Given an IP address as a string, find its IP address class.

For reference, here is a table:

Class Leading
bits
Number
of networks
Addresses
per network
Total addresses
in class
Start address End address
Class A 0 128 (27) 16,777,216 (224) 2,147,483,648 (231) 0.0.0.0 127.255.255.255
Class B 10 16,384 (214) 65,536 (216) 1,073,741,824 (230) 128.0.0.0 191.255.255.255
Class C 110 2,097,152 (221) 256 (28) 536,870,912 (229) 192.0.0.0 223.255.255.255
Class D (multicast) 1110 not defined not defined 268,435,456 (228) 224.0.0.0 239.255.255.255
Class E (reserved) 1111 not defined not defined 268,435,456 (228) 240.0.0.0 255.255.255.255

The simplest way to find the class of an address is to check the bits of its first octet. Once you find the the answer, you are required to output a character or a codepoint which represents one of the characters A, B, C, D or E.

  • The given IP will always be valid, and ti will always be a string.
  • IP will not have insignificant zeroes.
  • IP will not be in any form other than IPv4 dot notation.

Rules

This is code-golf. Shortest answer in each language wins.

Just to be clear, this is just for IPv4, right? (2 comments)
Clarification questions
celtschk‭ wrote almost 3 years ago

Does the code have to handle leading zeros (say, "010.000.007.023")? What about leading/trailing spaces (say, " 127.0.0.1 ")? Is the string guaranteed to be a valid IPv4 address? Will the IPv4 address always be given in point form, or does the code also need to handle the integer form (e.g. "167772161" is the same address as "10.0.0.1")?

I've edited the question to clarify these

Thanks. You didn't address the leading/trailing whitespace, though.

Razetime‭ wrote almost 3 years ago

the string will always be a valid ip address, so there will be no whitespace.
