§

Not(AllocatedBool<F>)

Implementations§

The constant true.

The constant false.

Constructs a LinearCombination from Self’s variables according to the following map.

  • Boolean::Constant(true) => lc!() + Variable::One
  • Boolean::Constant(false) => lc!()
  • Boolean::Is(v) => lc!() + v.variable()
  • Boolean::Not(v) => lc!() + Variable::One - v.variable()

Constructs a Boolean vector from a slice of constant u8. The u8s are decomposed in little-endian manner.

This does not create any new variables or constraints.

let generated_bits = Boolean::constant_vec_from_bytes(&[2]);
bits[..2].enforce_equal(&generated_bits[..2])?;
assert!(cs.is_satisfied().unwrap());

Convert a little-endian bitwise representation of a field element to FpVar<F>

Enforces that bits, when interpreted as a integer, is less than F::characteristic(), That is, interpret bits as a little-endian integer, and enforce that this integer is “in the field Z_p”, where p = F::characteristic() .

Enforces that bits is less than or equal to element, when both are interpreted as (little-endian) integers.

Conditionally selects one of first and second based on the value of self:

If self.is_eq(&Boolean::TRUE), this outputs first; else, it outputs second.
