Return the MIME‐style encoded line count for `inputLength`.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bdlde_base64encoder.h>`

encodedLines(int inputLength);
----

== Description

Return the exact number of encoded lines that would result from an input byte sequence of the specified `inputLength` provided to the `convert` method of an encoder with the maximum allowable line‐length of the output being 76 characters (as recommended by the MIME standard). The behavior is undefined unless `0 <= inputLength`. Note also that the number of encoded bytes need not be the number of _output_ bytes.

DEPRECATED: use the overload with `options` instead.

== Return Value

the exact number of encoded lines for `inputLength` with MIME line length

== Parameters
