e
formatting.
The LowerExp
trait should format its output in scientific notation with a lower-case e
.
For more information on formatters, see the module-level documentation.
Examples
Basic usage with f64
:
let x = 42.0; // 42.0 is '4.2e1' in scientific notation
assert_eq!(format!("{:e}", x), "4.2e1");
Implementing LowerExp
on a type:
use std::fmt;
struct Length(i32);
impl fmt::LowerExp for Length {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
let val = f64::from(self.0);
fmt::LowerExp::fmt(&val, f) // delegate to f64's implementation
}
}
let l = Length(100);
assert_eq!(
format!("l in scientific notation is: {:e}", l),
"l in scientific notation is: 1e2"
);
assert_eq!(
format!("l in scientific notation is: {:05e}", l),
"l in scientific notation is: 001e2"
);
