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

The only case where such wrapping can occur is when one divides 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 such a case, this function returns MIN itself.

Panics

This function will panic if rhs is 0.

Examples

Basic usage:

assert_eq!(100i128.wrapping_div(10), 10);
assert_eq!((-128i8).wrapping_div(-1), -128);

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 0.

Panics

This function will panic if rhs is 0.

Examples

Basic usage:

assert_eq!(100i128.wrapping_rem(10), 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

Basic usage:

assert_eq!(i128::MIN.wrapping_neg(), i128::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`](#method.rotate_left) function, which may be what you want instead.

Examples

Basic usage:

assert_eq!((-1i128).wrapping_shl(7), -128);
assert_eq!((-1i128).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

Basic usage:

assert_eq!((-128i128).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

Basic usage:

assert_eq!(100i128.wrapping_abs(), 100);
assert_eq!((-100i128).wrapping_abs(), 100);
assert_eq!(i128::MIN.wrapping_abs(), i128::MIN);

Calculates the quotient of Euclidean division of self by rhs.

This computes the integer n such that self = n * rhs + self.rem_euclid(rhs), with 0 <= self.rem_euclid(rhs) < rhs.

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

Panics

This function will panic if rhs is 0 or the division results in overflow.

Examples

Basic usage:

let a: i128 = 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), self = rhs * self.div_euclid(rhs) + r, and 0 <= r < abs(rhs).

Panics

This function will panic if rhs is 0 or the division results in overflow.

Examples

Basic usage:

let a: i128 = 7; // or any other integer type
let b = 4;

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

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

Computes the absolute value of self.

Overflow behavior

The absolute value of i128::MIN cannot be represented as an i128, 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 i128::MIN without a panic.

Examples

assert_eq!((-10i128).abs(), 10);

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

Examples

let value = i128::from_be_bytes([0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x90, 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x90, 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x90, 0x12]);
assert_eq!(value, 0x12345678901234567890123456789012);

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

use std::convert::TryInto;

fn read_be_i128(input: &mut &[u8]) -> i128 {
    let (int_bytes, rest) = input.split_at(std::mem::size_of::<i128>());
    *input = rest;
    i128::from_be_bytes(int_bytes.try_into().unwrap())
}

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

Examples

let value = i128::from_le_bytes([0x12, 0x90, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x90, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x90, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12]);
assert_eq!(value, 0x12345678901234567890123456789012);

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

    *input = rest;
    i128::from_le_bytes(int_bytes.try_into().unwrap())
}

Create 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.

Examples

let value = i128::from_ne_bytes(if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
    [0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x90, 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x90, 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x90, 0x12]
} else {
    [0x12, 0x90, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x90, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12, 0x90, 0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12]
});
assert_eq!(value, 0x12345678901234567890123456789012);

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

fn read_ne_i128(input: &mut &[u8]) -> i128 {

    *input = rest;
    i128::from_ne_bytes(int_bytes.try_into().unwrap())
}

This method is soft-deprecated.

Although using it won’t cause compilation warning, new code should use i128::MIN instead.

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

This method is soft-deprecated.

Although using it won’t cause compilation warning, new code should use i128::MAX instead.

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