The **`MaxEncodedLen()`** function in Go reports the maximum encoding length of a given number of bytes.


The program needs to include the `encoding/ascii85` module to use the `MaxEncodedLen()` function.

The `MaxEncodedLen()` function accepts the number of source bytes as type `int` and returns the maximum encoded length as type `int`. 

# Example
The following code demonstrates how to use the `MaxEncodedLen()` function:


package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "encoding/ascii85"
)

func main() {
  // calculate encoding len of a source of length 5
x := ascii85.MaxEncodedLen(5)
// display maximum encoded length
fmt.Println(x)
}

The above program takes the length of a byte source, which is *5*, and calculates its maximum encoded length, which is *10*.
