This crate provides a simple Bytes struct that stores a number and displays it in as the appropriate multiple of a power of 1000 bytes, i.e. in Megabytes, Gigabyte, etc. for human readability.
Example:
rust
let b = Bytes(5247 as u16);
println!("{}", b) // Prints "5.25 KB"
The number is stored internally in the same type as was provided to initialize the struct: u16 in this example.
Writing this simple crate was a good exercise to learn generics, trait bounds and automated tests.
| Decimal | Name | | ------- | ----- | | 1 | Byte | | 1000 | Kilo | | 1000^2 | Mega | | 1000^3 | Giga | | 1000^4 | Tera | | 1000^5 | Peta | | 1000^6 | Exa | | 1000^7 | Zetta | | 1000^8 | Yotta |
Coming soon, Mebibytes:
| Decimal | Name | | ------- | ---- | | 1 | Byte | | 1024 | Kibi | | 1024^2 | Mebi | | 1024^3 | Gibi | | 1024^4 | Tebi | | 1024^5 | Pebi | | 1024^6 | Exbi | | 1024^7 | Zebi | | 1024^8 | Yobi |
Ze* and Yo* are outside the range of numbers that can be represented by u64 (maximum 1.84467440737e+19 or 18.4467440737*1000^6).
