# Task 2: Alphanumeric String Value
# =================================
#
# You are given an array of alphanumeric strings.
#
# Write a script to return the maximum value of alphanumeric string in the
# given array.
#
# The value of alphanumeric string can be defined as
#
# a) The numeric representation of the string in base 10 if it is made up of
# digits only.
# b) otherwise the length of the string
#
#
## Example 1
##
## Input: @alphanumstr = ("perl", "2", "000", "python", "r4ku")
## Output: 6
##
## "perl" consists of letters only so the value is 4.
## "2" is digits only so the value is 2.
## "000" is digits only so the value is 0.
## "python" consits of letters so the value is 6.
## "r4ku" consists of letters and digits so the value is 4.
#
## Example 2
##
## Input: @alphanumstr = ("001", "1", "000", "0001")
## Output: 1

# Try to match each string against a non-digit character. If that succeeds (or
# the length is 0), use the length. If it doesn't, convert the string to an
# integer.
