The [fixed crate] provides fixed-point numbers. Currently it uses the [typenum crate] for the fractional bit count; it is planned to move to [const generics] when they are implemented by the Rust compiler.
The crate provides the following types:
FixedI8] is a signed eight-bit fixed-point number,FixedI16] is a signed 16-bit fixed-point number,FixedI32] is a signed 32-bit fixed-point number,FixedI64] is a signed 64-bit fixed-point number,FixedI128] is a signed 128-bit fixed-point number,FixedU8] is an unsigned eight-bit fixed-point number,FixedU16] is an unsigned 16-bit fixed-point number,FixedU32] is an unsigned 32-bit fixed-point number,FixedU64] is an unsigned 64-bit fixed-point number, andFixedU128] is an unsigned 128-bit fixed-point number.All fixed-point numbers can have Frac fractional bits, where Frac
can have any value from 0 up to and including the size of the number
in bits. When Frac is 0, the fixed-point number behaves like an
integer. When Frac is equal to the number of bits, the value of the
fixed-point number lies in the range −0.5 ≤ x < 0.5 for signed
fixed-point numbers, and in the range 0 ≤ x < 1 for unsigned
fixed-point numbers.
Various conversion methods are available:
From] or [Into] for the conversions that always work without
losing any bits.LossyFrom] and [LossyInto] can be used; these will
truncate any excess fractional bits in the source value.FromFixed] and [ToFixed] traits, or using the inherent methods
in the fixed-point types themselves.FromStr].from_str_binary], [from_str_octal] and
[from_str_hex] were added.traits] module was added, with its traits [Fixed],
[FixedSigned], [FixedUnsigned], [FromFixed], [ToFixed],
[LossyFrom] and [LossyInto].saturating_neg] method was added to all fixed-point
numbers, and the [saturating_abs] method was added to signed
fixed-point numbers.consts] module was added.signum] method now wraps instead of panics in release mode.Int] and [Float] now have no provided
methods; the methods in the old implementation are new provided by
[FromFixed] and [ToFixed].Details on other releases can be found in [RELEASES.md].
```rust // 20 integer bits, 12 fractional bits use fixed::types::I20F12;
// 19/3 = 6 1/3
let sixandthird = I20F12::fromint(19) / 3;
// four decimal digits for 12 binary digits
asserteq!(sixandthird.tostring(), "6.3333");
// find the ceil and convert to i32
asserteq!(sixandthird.ceil().toint::
The type [I20F12] is a 32-bit fixed-point signed number with 20
integer bits and 12 fractional bits. It is an alias to
[FixedI32][.
The unsigned counterpart would be [FixedI32]<[frac::U12][frac::U12]>U20F12]. Aliases are provided for
all combinations of integer and fractional bits adding up to a total
of eight, 16, 32, 64 or 128 bits.
```rust // −8 ≤ I4F4 < 8 with steps of 1/16 (about 0.06) use fixed::types::I4F4; let a = I4F4::fromint(1); // multiplication and division by integers is possible let ans1 = a / 5 * 17; // 1 / 5 × 17 = 3 2/5 (3.4), but we get 3 3/16 (3.19) asserteq!(ans1, I4F4::frombits((3 << 4) + 3)); asserteq!(ans1.to_string(), "3.19");
// −8 ≤ I4F12 < 8 with steps of 1/4096 (about 0.0002) use fixed::types::I4F12; let widera = I4F12::from(a); let widerans = widera / 5 * 17; let ans2 = I4F4::fromfixed(widerans); // now the answer is the much closer 3 6/16 (3.38) asserteq!(ans2, I4F4::frombits((3 << 4) + 6)); asserteq!(ans2.to_string(), "3.38"); ```
The second example shows some precision and conversion issues. The low
precision of a means that a / 5 is 3⁄16 instead of 1⁄5, leading to
an inaccurate result ans1 = 3 3⁄16 (3.19). With a higher precision,
we get wider_a / 5 equal to 819⁄4096, leading to a more accurate
intermediate result wider_ans = 3 1635⁄4096. When we convert back to
four fractional bits, we get ans2 = 3 6⁄16 (3.38).
Note that we can convert from [I4F4] to [I4F12] using [From], as
the target type has the same number of integer bits and a larger
number of fractional bits. Converting from [I4F12] to [I4F4]
cannot use [From] as we have less fractional bits, so we use
[from_fixed] instead.
The fixed crate is available on crates.io. To use it in your crate, add it as a dependency inside [Cargo.toml]:
toml
[dependencies]
fixed = "0.4.1"
If you are using the 2015 Rust edition, you also need to declare it by adding this to your crate root (usually lib.rs or main.rs):
rust
extern crate fixed;
The fixed crate requires rustc version 1.31.0 or later.
The fixed crate has two optional feature:
f16, disabled by default. This provides conversion to/from
[f16]. This features requires the [half crate].serde, disabled by default. This provides serialization support
for the fixed-point types. This feature requires the
[serde crate].To enable features, you can add the dependency like this to [Cargo.toml]:
toml
[dependencies.fixed]
version = "0.4.1"
features = ["f16", "serde"]
