step_trait
)Expand description
Objects that have a notion of successor and predecessor operations.
The successor operation moves towards values that compare greater. The predecessor operation moves towards values that compare lesser.
Required Methods§
sourcefn steps_between(start: &Self, end: &Self) -> Option<usize>
fn steps_between(start: &Self, end: &Self) -> Option<usize>
step_trait
)Returns the number of successor steps required to get from start
to end
.
Returns None
if the number of steps would overflow usize
(or is infinite, or if end
would never be reached).
Invariants
For any a
, b
, and n
:
steps_between(&a, &b) == Some(n)
if and only ifStep::forward_checked(&a, n) == Some(b)
steps_between(&a, &b) == Some(n)
if and only ifStep::backward_checked(&b, n) == Some(a)
steps_between(&a, &b) == Some(n)
only ifa <= b
- Corollary:
steps_between(&a, &b) == Some(0)
if and only ifa == b
- Note that
a <= b
does not implysteps_between(&a, &b) != None
; this is the case when it would require more thanusize::MAX
steps to get tob
- Corollary:
steps_between(&a, &b) == None
ifa > b
sourcefn forward_checked(start: Self, count: usize) -> Option<Self>
fn forward_checked(start: Self, count: usize) -> Option<Self>
step_trait
)Returns the value that would be obtained by taking the successor
of self
count
times.
If this would overflow the range of values supported by Self
, returns None
.

Provided Methods§
sourcefn forward(start: Self, count: usize) -> Self
fn forward(start: Self, count: usize) -> Self
step_trait
)Returns the value that would be obtained by taking the successor
of self
count
times.
If this would overflow the range of values supported by Self
,
this function is allowed to panic, wrap, or saturate.
The suggested behavior is to panic when debug assertions are enabled,
and to wrap or saturate otherwise.
Unsafe code should not rely on the correctness of behavior after overflow.
Invariants
For any a

, and m
, where no overflow occurs:
Step::forward(Step::forward(a, n), m) == Step::forward(a, n + m)

, where no overflow occurs:
Step::forward_checked(a, n) == Some(Step::forward(a, n))
Step::forward(a, n) == (0..n).fold(a, |x, _| Step::forward(x, 1))
- Corollary:
Step::forward(a, 0) == a
- Corollary:
Step::forward(a, n) >= a
Step::backward(Step::forward(a, n), n) == a
sourceunsafe fn forward_unchecked(start: Self, count: usize) -> Self
unsafe fn forward_unchecked(start: Self, count: usize) -> Self
step_trait
)Returns the value that would be obtained by taking the successor

Safety
It is undefined behavior for this operation to overflow the
range of values supported by Self
. If you cannot guarantee that this
will not overflow, use forward
or forward_checked
instead.
Invariants
For any a

- if there exists
b

Step::forward_unchecked(a, n)
is equivalent toStep::forward(a, n)
