Expand description
o formatting.
The Octal trait should format its output as a number in base-8.
For primitive signed integers (i8 to i128, and isize),
negative values are formatted as the two’s complement representation.
The alternate flag, #, adds a 0o in front of the output.
For more information on formatters, see the module-level documentation.
Examples
Basic usage with i32:
let x = 42; // 42 is '52' in octal
assert_eq!(format!("{:o}", x), "52");
assert_eq!(format!("{:#o}", x), "0o52");
assert_eq!(format!("{:o}", -16), "37777777760");Implementing Octal on a type:
use std::fmt;
struct Length(i32);
impl fmt::Octal for Length {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
let val = self.0;
fmt::Octal::fmt(&val, f) // delegate to i32's implementation
}
}
let l = Length(9);
assert_eq!(format!("l as octal is: {:o}", l), "l as octal is: 11");
assert_eq!(format!("l as octal is: {:#06o}", l), "l as octal is: 0o0011");
