Crate cmn

A Rust library for accessing a collection of mathematical and cryptographic constants

Part of the Mini Functions family of libraries.

Overview 📖

Common (CMN) is a modern, fast, and user-friendly library that makes it easy to access a wide range of mathematical and cryptographic constants.

Features ✨

The Common (CMN) uses the serde crate to serialize and deserialize the data.

The library has three modules:

• Macros: This module contains functions for generating macros that can be used to access the constants.
• Constants: This module contains the Constants structure, which provides a collection of constant values that are used throughout the library.
• Words: This module contains the Words structure, which provides a collection of words that are used throughout the library.

Mathematical and Cryptographic Constants

The following table lists the most important mathematical and cryptographic constants available in the Common (CMN) library:

Constants	Description	Example
AVOGADRO	Avogadro’s constant is the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance.	The number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 is 6.02214076 × 10^23. This can be used to calculate the number of atoms or molecules in a given sample.
BOLTZMANN	Boltzmann’s constant is the physical constant relating the temperature of a system to the average kinetic energy of its constituent particles.	The kinetic energy of an atom at room temperature is about 2.0 × 10^-21 joules. This can be used to calculate the temperature of a system, or to calculate the average kinetic energy of its particles.
EULER	Euler’s constant is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828.	The sum of the infinite series 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + … is equal to Euler’s constant, e. This can be used to calculate the sum of an infinite series, or to calculate the logarithm of a number.
GAMMA	The gamma constant is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 0.57721.	The gamma function of 2 is equal to 1. This can be used to calculate the gamma function of a number, or to calculate the factorial of a number.
HASH_ALGORITHM	The hash algorithm used to generate the hash. The default is Blake3.	The hash of the string “Hello, world!” is 5eb63bbbe01eeed093cb22bb8f5acdc32790160b123138d53f2173b8d3dc3eee. This can be used to verify the integrity of data, or to create a unique identifier for a file.
HASH_COST	The cost of the hash.	The hash cost of Blake3 is 2^128. This can be used to determine how secure a hash algorithm is.
HASH_LENGTH	The length of the hash.	The hash length of Blake3 is 32 bytes. This can be used to determine how much space is required to store the hash output.
PHI	The golden ratio is a number approximately equal to 1.618033988749895.	The golden ratio can be used to create a symmetrical design, or a design that is pleasing to the eye.
PI	Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.	The circumference of a circle with a radius of 1 is equal to pi. This can be used to calculate the circumference, area, and volume of circles, spheres, and other geometric shapes.
PLANCK	Planck’s constant is a physical constant that is approximately equal to 6.62607015 × 10^−34 joule seconds.	The energy of a photon of light with a wavelength of 500 nanometers is equal to Planck’s constant multiplied by the frequency of the light. This can be used to calculate the energy of photons and other elementary particles.
SILVER_RATIO	The silver ratio is a number approximately equal to 1.414213562373095.	The silver ratio can be used to create a symmetrical design, or a design that is pleasing to the eye.
SPECIAL_CHARS	A list of special characters.	The special characters are: !@#$%^&*()_+-={}[]
SQRT2	The square root of 2 is a number approximately equal to 1.414213562373095.	The area of a circle with a radius of 1 is equal to the square root of 2. This can be used to calculate the area and volume of circles, spheres, and other geometric shapes.
SQRT3	The square root of 3 is a number approximately equal to 1.732050807568877.	The area of a circle with a radius of 1 is equal to the square root of 3. This can be used to calculate the area and volume of circles
SQRT5	The square root of 5 is a number approximately equal to 2.23606797749979.	The area of a circle with a radius of 1 is equal to the square root of 5.
TAU	Tau is a number approximately equal to 6.283185307179586.	The circumference of a circle with a radius of 1 is equal to tau.

The following table lists the dictionaries available in the Common library.

Words	Description
words	Contains a dictionary of common words.

Usage

Common can be any serde::Serialize or serde::Deserialize types

Examples

// Import the Common libraries
extern crate cmn;
use cmn::Constants;
use cmn::Words;

// Constants
let constants = Constants::new();
let constant = constants.constant("EULER");
assert_eq!(constant.unwrap().name, "EULER");

// Words
let words = Words::new();
let words_list = words.words_list();
assert_eq!(words_list[0], "aboard");

Modules

• constants
  The constants module contains the Constants structure, which provides a collection of constant values that are used throughout the library.
• macros
  The macros module contains functions for generating macros. Macros for the cmn crate.
