Crate balanced_ternary

A balanced ternary data structure.

A Ternary object in this module represents a number in the balanced ternary numeral system. Balanced ternary is a non-standard positional numeral system that uses three digits: {-1, 0, +1} represented here as Neg for -1, Zero for 0, and Pos for +1. It is useful in some domains of computer science and mathematics due to its arithmetic properties and representation symmetry.

Data Structures

• Digit Enum: Represents a single digit for balanced ternary values, with possible values:
  • Neg for -1
  • Zero for 0
  • Pos for +1

Re-exports

pub use crate::digit::Digit::Neg;

pub use crate::digit::Digit::Pos;

pub use crate::digit::Digit::Zero;

Structs

DataTernary

Offers a compact structure to store a ternary number.

Ternary

Represents a balanced ternary number using a sequence of Digits.

TritsChunk

A struct to store 5 ternary digits (~7.8 bits) value into one byte.

Tryte

The Tryte<S> struct represents a Copy type balanced ternary number with exactly S digits (6 by default). Each digit in a balanced ternary system can have one of three values: -1, 0, or 1.
