Wrapping Euclidean division. Computes self.div_euclid(rhs), wrapping around at the boundary of the type.

Wrapping will only occur in MIN / -1 on a signed type (where MIN is the negative minimal value for the type). This is equivalent to -MIN, a positive value that is too large to represent in the type. In this case, this method returns MIN itself.

§Panics

This function will panic if rhs is zero.

§Examples

assert_eq!(100i8.wrapping_div_euclid(10), 10);
assert_eq!((-128i8).wrapping_div_euclid(-1), -128);

Wrapping (modular) remainder. Computes self % rhs, wrapping around at the boundary of the type.

Such wrap-around never actually occurs mathematically; implementation artifacts make x % y invalid for MIN / -1 on a signed type (where MIN is the negative minimal value). In such a case, this function returns 0.

§Panics

This function will panic if rhs is zero.

§Examples

assert_eq!(100i8.wrapping_rem(10), 0);
assert_eq!((-128i8).wrapping_rem(-1), 0);

Wrapping Euclidean remainder. Computes self.rem_euclid(rhs), wrapping around at the boundary of the type.

Wrapping will only occur in MIN % -1 on a signed type (where MIN is the negative minimal value for the type). In this case, this method returns 0.

§Panics

This function will panic if rhs is zero.

§Examples

assert_eq!(100i8.wrapping_rem_euclid(10), 0);
assert_eq!((-128i8).wrapping_rem_euclid(-1), 0);

Wrapping (modular) negation. Computes -self, wrapping around at the boundary of the type.

The only case where such wrapping can occur is when one negates MIN on a signed type (where MIN is the negative minimal value for the type); this is a positive value that is too large to represent in the type. In such a case, this function returns MIN itself.

§Examples

assert_eq!(100i8.wrapping_neg(), -100);
assert_eq!((-100i8).wrapping_neg(), 100);
assert_eq!(i8::MIN.wrapping_neg(), i8::MIN);

Panic-free bitwise shift-left; yields self << mask(rhs), where mask removes any high-order bits of rhs that would cause the shift to exceed the bitwidth of the type.

Note that this is not the same as a rotate-left; the RHS of a wrapping shift-left is restricted to the range of the type, rather than the bits shifted out of the LHS being returned to the other end. The primitive integer types all implement a rotate_left function, which may be what you want instead.

§Examples

assert_eq!((-1i8).wrapping_shl(7), -128);
assert_eq!((-1i8).wrapping_shl(128), -1);

Panic-free bitwise shift-right; yields self >> mask(rhs), where mask removes any high-order bits of rhs that would cause the shift to exceed the bitwidth of the type.

Note that this is not the same as a rotate-right; the RHS of a wrapping shift-right is restricted to the range of the type, rather than the bits shifted out of the LHS being returned to the other end. The primitive integer types all implement a rotate_right function, which may be what you want instead.

§Examples

assert_eq!((-128i8).wrapping_shr(7), -1);
assert_eq!((-128i16).wrapping_shr(64), -128);

Wrapping (modular) absolute value. Computes self.abs(), wrapping around at the boundary of the type.

The only case where such wrapping can occur is when one takes the absolute value of the negative minimal value for the type; this is a positive value that is too large to represent in the type. In such a case, this function returns MIN itself.

§Examples

assert_eq!(100i8.wrapping_abs(), 100);
assert_eq!((-100i8).wrapping_abs(), 100);
assert_eq!(i8::MIN.wrapping_abs(), i8::MIN);
assert_eq!((-128i8).wrapping_abs() as u8, 128);

Computes the absolute value of self without any wrapping or panicking.

§Examples

assert_eq!(100i8.unsigned_abs(), 100u8);
assert_eq!((-100i8).unsigned_abs(), 100u8);
assert_eq!((-128i8).unsigned_abs(), 128u8);

Wrapping (modular) exponentiation. Computes self.pow(exp), wrapping around at the boundary of the type.

§Examples

assert_eq!(3i8.wrapping_pow(4), 81);
assert_eq!(3i8.wrapping_pow(5), -13);
assert_eq!(3i8.wrapping_pow(6), -39);
assert_eq!(0_i8.wrapping_pow(0), 1);

Calculates self + rhs.

Returns a tuple of the addition along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. If an overflow would have occurred then the wrapped value is returned.

§Examples

assert_eq!(5i8.overflowing_add(2), (7, false));
assert_eq!(i8::MAX.overflowing_add(1), (i8::MIN, true));

Calculates self + rhs + carry and checks for overflow.

Performs “ternary addition” of two integer operands and a carry-in bit, and returns a tuple of the sum along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. On overflow, the wrapped value is returned.

This allows chaining together multiple additions to create a wider addition, and can be useful for bignum addition. This method should only be used for the most significant word; for the less significant words the unsigned method u8::carrying_add should be used.

The output boolean returned by this method is not a carry flag, and should not be added to a more significant word.

If the input carry is false, this method is equivalent to overflowing_add.

§Examples

#![feature(bigint_helper_methods)]
// Only the most significant word is signed.
//
//   10  MAX    (a = 10 × 2^8 + 2^8 - 1)
// + -5    9    (b = -5 × 2^8 + 9)
// ---------
//    6    8    (sum = 6 × 2^8 + 8)

let (a1, a0): (i8, u8) = (10, u8::MAX);
let (b1, b0): (i8, u8) = (-5, 9);
let carry0 = false;

// u8::carrying_add for the less significant words
let (sum0, carry1) = a0.carrying_add(b0, carry0);
assert_eq!(carry1, true);

// i8::carrying_add for the most significant word
let (sum1, overflow) = a1.carrying_add(b1, carry1);
assert_eq!(overflow, false);

assert_eq!((sum1, sum0), (6, 8));

Calculates self + rhs with an unsigned rhs.

Returns a tuple of the addition along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. If an overflow would have occurred then the wrapped value is returned.

§Examples

assert_eq!(1i8.overflowing_add_unsigned(2), (3, false));
assert_eq!((i8::MIN).overflowing_add_unsigned(u8::MAX), (i8::MAX, false));
assert_eq!((i8::MAX - 2).overflowing_add_unsigned(3), (i8::MIN, true));

Calculates self - rhs.

Returns a tuple of the subtraction along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. If an overflow would have occurred then the wrapped value is returned.

§Examples

assert_eq!(5i8.overflowing_sub(2), (3, false));
assert_eq!(i8::MIN.overflowing_sub(1), (i8::MAX, true));

Calculates self − rhs − borrow and checks for overflow.

Performs “ternary subtraction” by subtracting both an integer operand and a borrow-in bit from self, and returns a tuple of the difference along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. On overflow, the wrapped value is returned.

This allows chaining together multiple subtractions to create a wider subtraction, and can be useful for bignum subtraction. This method should only be used for the most significant word; for the less significant words the unsigned method u8::borrowing_sub should be used.

The output boolean returned by this method is not a borrow flag, and should not be subtracted from a more significant word.

If the input borrow is false, this method is equivalent to overflowing_sub.

§Examples

#![feature(bigint_helper_methods)]
// Only the most significant word is signed.
//
//    6    8    (a = 6 × 2^8 + 8)
// - -5    9    (b = -5 × 2^8 + 9)
// ---------
//   10  MAX    (diff = 10 × 2^8 + 2^8 - 1)

let (a1, a0): (i8, u8) = (6, 8);
let (b1, b0): (i8, u8) = (-5, 9);
let borrow0 = false;

// u8::borrowing_sub for the less significant words
let (diff0, borrow1) = a0.borrowing_sub(b0, borrow0);
assert_eq!(borrow1, true);

// i8::borrowing_sub for the most significant word
let (diff1, overflow) = a1.borrowing_sub(b1, borrow1);
assert_eq!(overflow, false);

assert_eq!((diff1, diff0), (10, u8::MAX));

Calculates self - rhs with an unsigned rhs.

Returns a tuple of the subtraction along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. If an overflow would have occurred then the wrapped value is returned.

§Examples

assert_eq!(1i8.overflowing_sub_unsigned(2), (-1, false));
assert_eq!((i8::MAX).overflowing_sub_unsigned(u8::MAX), (i8::MIN, false));
assert_eq!((i8::MIN + 2).overflowing_sub_unsigned(3), (i8::MAX, true));

Calculates the multiplication of self and rhs.

Returns a tuple of the multiplication along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. If an overflow would have occurred then the wrapped value is returned.

§Examples

assert_eq!(5i8.overflowing_mul(2), (10, false));
assert_eq!(1_000_000_000i32.overflowing_mul(10), (1410065408, true));

Calculates the complete product self * rhs without the possibility to overflow.

This returns the low-order (wrapping) bits and the high-order (overflow) bits of the result as two separate values, in that order.

If you also need to add a carry to the wide result, then you want Self::carrying_mul instead.

§Examples

Please note that this example is shared among integer types, which is why i32 is used.

#![feature(bigint_helper_methods)]
assert_eq!(5i32.widening_mul(-2), (4294967286, -1));
assert_eq!(1_000_000_000i32.widening_mul(-10), (2884901888, -3));

Calculates the “full multiplication” self * rhs + carry without the possibility to overflow.

This returns the low-order (wrapping) bits and the high-order (overflow) bits of the result as two separate values, in that order.

Performs “long multiplication” which takes in an extra amount to add, and may return an additional amount of overflow. This allows for chaining together multiple multiplications to create “big integers” which represent larger values.

If you don’t need the carry, then you can use Self::widening_mul instead.

§Examples

Please note that this example is shared among integer types, which is why i32 is used.

#![feature(bigint_helper_methods)]
assert_eq!(5i32.carrying_mul(-2, 0), (4294967286, -1));
assert_eq!(5i32.carrying_mul(-2, 10), (0, 0));
assert_eq!(1_000_000_000i32.carrying_mul(-10, 0), (2884901888, -3));
assert_eq!(1_000_000_000i32.carrying_mul(-10, 10), (2884901898, -3));
assert_eq!(i8::MAX.carrying_mul(i8::MAX, i8::MAX), (i8::MAX.unsigned_abs() + 1, i8::MAX / 2));

Calculates the “full multiplication” self * rhs + carry + add without the possibility to overflow.

This returns the low-order (wrapping) bits and the high-order (overflow) bits of the result as two separate values, in that order.

Performs “long multiplication” which takes in an extra amount to add, and may return an additional amount of overflow. This allows for chaining together multiple multiplications to create “big integers” which represent larger values.

If you don’t need either carry, then you can use Self::widening_mul instead, and if you only need one carry, then you can use Self::carrying_mul instead.

§Examples

Please note that this example is shared among integer types, which is why i32 is used.

#![feature(bigint_helper_methods)]
assert_eq!(5i32.carrying_mul_add(-2, 0, 0), (4294967286, -1));
assert_eq!(5i32.carrying_mul_add(-2, 10, 10), (10, 0));
assert_eq!(1_000_000_000i32.carrying_mul_add(-10, 0, 0), (2884901888, -3));
assert_eq!(1_000_000_000i32.carrying_mul_add(-10, 10, 10), (2884901908, -3));
assert_eq!(i8::MAX.carrying_mul_add(i8::MAX, i8::MAX, i8::MAX), (u8::MAX, i8::MAX / 2));

Calculates the divisor when self is divided by rhs.

Returns a tuple of the divisor along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. If an overflow would occur then self is returned.

assert_eq!(i8::MIN.overflowing_div(-1), (i8::MIN, true));

Calculates the quotient of Euclidean division self.div_euclid(rhs).

Returns a tuple of the divisor along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. If an overflow would occur then self is returned.

§Examples

assert_eq!(5i8.overflowing_div_euclid(2), (2, false));
assert_eq!(i8::MIN.overflowing_div_euclid(-1), (i8::MIN, true));

Calculates the remainder when self is divided by rhs.

Returns a tuple of the remainder after dividing along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. If an overflow would occur then 0 is returned.

§Examples

assert_eq!(5i8.overflowing_rem(2), (1, false));
assert_eq!(i8::MIN.overflowing_rem(-1), (0, true));

Overflowing Euclidean remainder. Calculates self.rem_euclid(rhs).

Returns a tuple of the remainder after dividing along with a boolean indicating whether an arithmetic overflow would occur. If an overflow would occur then 0 is returned.

§Panics

§Examples

assert_eq!(5i8.overflowing_rem_euclid(2), (1, false));
assert_eq!(i8::MIN.overflowing_rem_euclid(-1), (0, true));

Negates self, overflowing if this is equal to the minimum value.

Returns a tuple of the negated version of self along with a boolean indicating whether an overflow happened. If self is the minimum value (e.g., i32::MIN for values of type i32), then the minimum value will be returned again and true will be returned for an overflow happening.

§Examples

assert_eq!(2i8.overflowing_neg(), (-2, false));
assert_eq!(i8::MIN.overflowing_neg(), (i8::MIN, true));

Shifts self left by rhs bits.

Returns a tuple of the shifted version of self along with a boolean indicating whether the shift value was larger than or equal to the number of bits. If the shift value is too large, then value is masked (N-1) where N is the number of bits, and this value is then used to perform the shift.

§Examples

assert_eq!(0x1i8.overflowing_shl(4), (0x10, false));
assert_eq!(0x1i32.overflowing_shl(36), (0x10, true));
assert_eq!(0x10i8.overflowing_shl(7), (0, false));

Shifts self right by rhs bits.

Returns a tuple of the shifted version of self along with a boolean indicating whether the shift value was larger than or equal to the number of bits. If the shift value is too large, then value is masked (N-1) where N is the number of bits, and this value is then used to perform the shift.

§Examples

assert_eq!(0x10i8.overflowing_shr(4), (0x1, false));
assert_eq!(0x10i32.overflowing_shr(36), (0x1, true));

Computes the absolute value of self.

Returns a tuple of the absolute version of self along with a boolean indicating whether an overflow happened. If self is the minimum value (e.g., i8::MIN for values of type i8), then the minimum value will be returned again and true will be returned for an overflow happening.

§Examples

assert_eq!(10i8.overflowing_abs(), (10, false));
assert_eq!((-10i8).overflowing_abs(), (10, false));
assert_eq!((i8::MIN).overflowing_abs(), (i8::MIN, true));

Raises self to the power of exp, using exponentiation by squaring.

Returns a tuple of the exponentiation along with a bool indicating whether an overflow happened.

§Examples

assert_eq!(3i8.overflowing_pow(4), (81, false));
assert_eq!(0_i8.overflowing_pow(0), (1, false));
assert_eq!(3i8.overflowing_pow(5), (-13, true));

Raises self to the power of exp, using exponentiation by squaring.

§Examples

let x: i8 = 2; // or any other integer type

assert_eq!(x.pow(5), 32);
assert_eq!(0_i8.pow(0), 1);

Returns the square root of the number, rounded down.

§Panics

This function will panic if self is negative.

§Examples

assert_eq!(10i8.isqrt(), 3);

Calculates the quotient of Euclidean division of self by rhs.

This computes the integer q such that self = q * rhs + r, with r = self.rem_euclid(rhs) and 0 <= r < abs(rhs).

In other words, the result is self / rhs rounded to the integer q such that self >= q * rhs. If self > 0, this is equal to rounding towards zero (the default in Rust); if self < 0, this is equal to rounding away from zero (towards +/- infinity). If rhs > 0, this is equal to rounding towards -infinity; if rhs < 0, this is equal to rounding towards +infinity.

§Panics

This function will panic if rhs is zero or if self is Self::MIN and rhs is -1. This behavior is not affected by the overflow-checks flag.

§Examples

let a: i8 = 7; // or any other integer type
let b = 4;

assert_eq!(a.div_euclid(b), 1); // 7 >= 4 * 1
assert_eq!(a.div_euclid(-b), -1); // 7 >= -4 * -1
assert_eq!((-a).div_euclid(b), -2); // -7 >= 4 * -2
assert_eq!((-a).div_euclid(-b), 2); // -7 >= -4 * 2

Calculates the least nonnegative remainder of self (mod rhs).

This is done as if by the Euclidean division algorithm – given r = self.rem_euclid(rhs), the result satisfies self = rhs * self.div_euclid(rhs) + r and 0 <= r < abs(rhs).

§Panics

This function will panic if rhs is zero or if self is Self::MIN and rhs is -1. This behavior is not affected by the overflow-checks flag.

§Examples

let a: i8 = 7; // or any other integer type
let b = 4;

assert_eq!(a.rem_euclid(b), 3);
assert_eq!((-a).rem_euclid(b), 1);
assert_eq!(a.rem_euclid(-b), 3);
assert_eq!((-a).rem_euclid(-b), 1);

This will panic:

let _ = i8::MIN.rem_euclid(-1);

Calculates the quotient of self and rhs, rounding the result towards negative infinity.

§Panics

This function will panic if rhs is zero or if self is Self::MIN and rhs is -1. This behavior is not affected by the overflow-checks flag.

§Examples

#![feature(int_roundings)]
let a: i8 = 8;
let b = 3;

assert_eq!(a.div_floor(b), 2);
assert_eq!(a.div_floor(-b), -3);
assert_eq!((-a).div_floor(b), -3);
assert_eq!((-a).div_floor(-b), 2);

Calculates the quotient of self and rhs, rounding the result towards positive infinity.

§Panics

This function will panic if rhs is zero or if self is Self::MIN and rhs is -1. This behavior is not affected by the overflow-checks flag.

§Examples

#![feature(int_roundings)]
let a: i8 = 8;
let b = 3;

assert_eq!(a.div_ceil(b), 3);
assert_eq!(a.div_ceil(-b), -2);
assert_eq!((-a).div_ceil(b), -2);
assert_eq!((-a).div_ceil(-b), 3);

If rhs is positive, calculates the smallest value greater than or equal to self that is a multiple of rhs. If rhs is negative, calculates the largest value less than or equal to self that is a multiple of rhs.

§Panics

This function will panic if rhs is zero.

§Overflow behavior

On overflow, this function will panic if overflow checks are enabled (default in debug mode) and wrap if overflow checks are disabled (default in release mode).

§Examples

#![feature(int_roundings)]
assert_eq!(16_i8.next_multiple_of(8), 16);
assert_eq!(23_i8.next_multiple_of(8), 24);
assert_eq!(16_i8.next_multiple_of(-8), 16);
assert_eq!(23_i8.next_multiple_of(-8), 16);
assert_eq!((-16_i8).next_multiple_of(8), -16);
assert_eq!((-23_i8).next_multiple_of(8), -16);
assert_eq!((-16_i8).next_multiple_of(-8), -16);
assert_eq!((-23_i8).next_multiple_of(-8), -24);

If rhs is positive, calculates the smallest value greater than or equal to self that is a multiple of rhs. If rhs is negative, calculates the largest value less than or equal to self that is a multiple of rhs. Returns None if rhs is zero or the operation would result in overflow.

§Examples

#![feature(int_roundings)]
assert_eq!(16_i8.checked_next_multiple_of(8), Some(16));
assert_eq!(23_i8.checked_next_multiple_of(8), Some(24));
assert_eq!(16_i8.checked_next_multiple_of(-8), Some(16));
assert_eq!(23_i8.checked_next_multiple_of(-8), Some(16));
assert_eq!((-16_i8).checked_next_multiple_of(8), Some(-16));
assert_eq!((-23_i8).checked_next_multiple_of(8), Some(-16));
assert_eq!((-16_i8).checked_next_multiple_of(-8), Some(-16));
assert_eq!((-23_i8).checked_next_multiple_of(-8), Some(-24));
assert_eq!(1_i8.checked_next_multiple_of(0), None);
assert_eq!(i8::MAX.checked_next_multiple_of(2), None);

Returns the logarithm of the number with respect to an arbitrary base, rounded down.

This method might not be optimized owing to implementation details; ilog2 can produce results more efficiently for base 2, and ilog10 can produce results more efficiently for base 10.

§Panics

This function will panic if self is less than or equal to zero, or if base is less than 2.

§Examples

assert_eq!(5i8.ilog(5), 1);

Returns the base 2 logarithm of the number, rounded down.

§Panics

This function will panic if self is less than or equal to zero.

§Examples

assert_eq!(2i8.ilog2(), 1);

Returns the base 10 logarithm of the number, rounded down.

§Panics

This function will panic if self is less than or equal to zero.

§Example

assert_eq!(10i8.ilog10(), 1);

Returns the logarithm of the number with respect to an arbitrary base, rounded down.

Returns None if the number is negative or zero, or if the base is not at least 2.

This method might not be optimized owing to implementation details; checked_ilog2 can produce results more efficiently for base 2, and checked_ilog10 can produce results more efficiently for base 10.

§Examples

assert_eq!(5i8.checked_ilog(5), Some(1));

Returns the base 2 logarithm of the number, rounded down.

Returns None if the number is negative or zero.

§Examples

assert_eq!(2i8.checked_ilog2(), Some(1));

Returns the base 10 logarithm of the number, rounded down.

Returns None if the number is negative or zero.

§Example

assert_eq!(10i8.checked_ilog10(), Some(1));

Computes the absolute value of self.

§Overflow behavior

The absolute value of i8::MIN cannot be represented as an i8, and attempting to calculate it will cause an overflow. This means that code in debug mode will trigger a panic on this case and optimized code will return i8::MIN without a panic. If you do not want this behavior, consider using unsigned_abs instead.

§Examples

assert_eq!(10i8.abs(), 10);
assert_eq!((-10i8).abs(), 10);

Computes the absolute difference between self and other.

This function always returns the correct answer without overflow or panics by returning an unsigned integer.

§Examples

assert_eq!(100i8.abs_diff(80), 20u8);
assert_eq!(100i8.abs_diff(110), 10u8);
assert_eq!((-100i8).abs_diff(80), 180u8);
assert_eq!((-100i8).abs_diff(-120), 20u8);
assert_eq!(i8::MIN.abs_diff(i8::MAX), u8::MAX);

Returns a number representing sign of self.

• 0 if the number is zero
• 1 if the number is positive
• -1 if the number is negative

§Examples

assert_eq!(10i8.signum(), 1);
assert_eq!(0i8.signum(), 0);
assert_eq!((-10i8).signum(), -1);

Returns true if self is positive and false if the number is zero or negative.

§Examples

assert!(10i8.is_positive());
assert!(!(-10i8).is_positive());

Returns true if self is negative and false if the number is zero or positive.

§Examples

assert!((-10i8).is_negative());
assert!(!10i8.is_negative());

Returns the memory representation of this integer as a byte array in big-endian (network) byte order.

Note: This function is meaningless on i8. Byte order does not exist as a concept for byte-sized integers. This function is only provided in symmetry with larger integer types. You can cast from and to u8 using cast_signed and cast_unsigned.

§Examples

let bytes = 0x12i8.to_be_bytes();
assert_eq!(bytes, [0x12]);

Returns the memory representation of this integer as a byte array in little-endian byte order.

Note: This function is meaningless on i8. Byte order does not exist as a concept for byte-sized integers. This function is only provided in symmetry with larger integer types. You can cast from and to u8 using cast_signed and cast_unsigned.

§Examples

let bytes = 0x12i8.to_le_bytes();
assert_eq!(bytes, [0x12]);

Returns the memory representation of this integer as a byte array in native byte order.

As the target platform’s native endianness is used, portable code should use to_be_bytes or to_le_bytes, as appropriate, instead.

Note: This function is meaningless on i8. Byte order does not exist as a concept for byte-sized integers. This function is only provided in symmetry with larger integer types. You can cast from and to u8 using cast_signed and cast_unsigned.

§Examples

let bytes = 0x12i8.to_ne_bytes();
assert_eq!(
    bytes,
    if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
        [0x12]
    } else {
        [0x12]
    }
);

Creates an integer value from its representation as a byte array in big endian.

Note: This function is meaningless on i8. Byte order does not exist as a concept for byte-sized integers. This function is only provided in symmetry with larger integer types. You can cast from and to u8 using cast_signed and cast_unsigned.

§Examples

let value = i8::from_be_bytes([0x12]);
assert_eq!(value, 0x12);

When starting from a slice rather than an array, fallible conversion APIs can be used:

fn read_be_i8(input: &mut &[u8]) -> i8 {
    let (int_bytes, rest) = input.split_at(size_of::<i8>());
    *input = rest;
    i8::from_be_bytes(int_bytes.try_into().unwrap())
}

Creates an integer value from its representation as a byte array in little endian.

Note: This function is meaningless on i8. Byte order does not exist as a concept for byte-sized integers. This function is only provided in symmetry with larger integer types. You can cast from and to u8 using cast_signed and cast_unsigned.

§Examples

let value = i8::from_le_bytes([0x12]);
assert_eq!(value, 0x12);

When starting from a slice rather than an array, fallible conversion APIs can be used:

fn read_le_i8(input: &mut &[u8]) -> i8 {
    let (int_bytes, rest) = input.split_at(size_of::<i8>());
    *input = rest;
    i8::from_le_bytes(int_bytes.try_into().unwrap())
}

Creates an integer value from its memory representation as a byte array in native endianness.

As the target platform’s native endianness is used, portable code likely wants to use from_be_bytes or from_le_bytes, as appropriate instead.

Note: This function is meaningless on i8. Byte order does not exist as a concept for byte-sized integers. This function is only provided in symmetry with larger integer types. You can cast from and to u8 using cast_signed and cast_unsigned.

§Examples

let value = i8::from_ne_bytes(if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
    [0x12]
} else {
    [0x12]
});
assert_eq!(value, 0x12);

When starting from a slice rather than an array, fallible conversion APIs can be used:

fn read_ne_i8(input: &mut &[u8]) -> i8 {
    let (int_bytes, rest) = input.split_at(size_of::<i8>());
    *input = rest;
    i8::from_ne_bytes(int_bytes.try_into().unwrap())
}

New code should prefer to use i8::MIN instead.

Returns the smallest value that can be represented by this integer type.

New code should prefer to use i8::MAX instead.

Returns the largest value that can be represented by this integer type.

Clamps this number to a symmetric range centred around zero.

The method clamps the number’s magnitude (absolute value) to be at most limit.

This is functionally equivalent to self.clamp(-limit, limit), but is more explicit about the intent.

§Examples

#![feature(clamp_magnitude)]
assert_eq!(120i8.clamp_magnitude(100), 100);
assert_eq!(-120i8.clamp_magnitude(100), -100);
assert_eq!(80i8.clamp_magnitude(100), 80);
assert_eq!(-80i8.clamp_magnitude(100), -80);

Calculates the midpoint (average) between self and rhs.

midpoint(a, b) is (a + b) / 2 as if it were performed in a sufficiently-large signed integral type. This implies that the result is always rounded towards zero and that no overflow will ever occur.

§Examples

assert_eq!(0i8.midpoint(4), 2);
assert_eq!((-1i8).midpoint(2), 0);
assert_eq!((-7i8).midpoint(0), -3);
assert_eq!(0i8.midpoint(-7), -3);
assert_eq!(0i8.midpoint(7), 3);

Parses an integer from a string slice with digits in a given base.

The string is expected to be an optional + or - sign followed by only digits. Leading and trailing non-digit characters (including whitespace) represent an error. Underscores (which are accepted in Rust literals) also represent an error.

Digits are a subset of these characters, depending on radix:

• 0-9
• a-z
• A-Z

§Panics

This function panics if radix is not in the range from 2 to 36.

§See also

If the string to be parsed is in base 10 (decimal), from_str or str::parse can also be used.

§Examples

assert_eq!(i8::from_str_radix("A", 16), Ok(10));

Trailing space returns error:

assert!(i8::from_str_radix("1 ", 10).is_err());

Parses an integer from an ASCII-byte slice with decimal digits.

The characters are expected to be an optional + or - sign followed by only digits. Leading and trailing non-digit characters (including whitespace) represent an error. Underscores (which are accepted in Rust literals) also represent an error.

§Examples

#![feature(int_from_ascii)]

assert_eq!(i8::from_ascii(b"+10"), Ok(10));

Trailing space returns error:

assert!(i8::from_ascii(b"1 ").is_err());

Parses an integer from an ASCII-byte slice with digits in a given base.

The characters are expected to be an optional + or - sign followed by only digits. Leading and trailing non-digit characters (including whitespace) represent an error. Underscores (which are accepted in Rust literals) also represent an error.

Digits are a subset of these characters, depending on radix:

• 0-9
• a-z
• A-Z

§Panics

This function panics if radix is not in the range from 2 to 36.

§Examples

#![feature(int_from_ascii)]

assert_eq!(i8::from_ascii_radix(b"A", 16), Ok(10));

Trailing space returns error:

assert!(i8::from_ascii_radix(b"1 ", 10).is_err());

Allows users to write an integer (in signed decimal format) into a variable buf of type NumBuffer that is passed by the caller by mutable reference.

§Examples

#![feature(int_format_into)]
use core::fmt::NumBuffer;

let n = 0i8;
let mut buf = NumBuffer::new();
assert_eq!(n.format_into(&mut buf), "0");

let n1 = 32i8;
assert_eq!(n1.format_into(&mut buf), "32");

let n2 = i8 :: MAX;
assert_eq!(n2.format_into(&mut buf), i8 :: MAX.to_string());
