//! Lowercase hexadecimal formatting via [`fmt::LowerHex`].
use super::U256;
use core::fmt;

/// Formats a [`U256`] as a lowercase hexadecimal string without leading
/// zeros (except for the value zero itself, which formats as `"0"`).
///
/// Supports the `#` alternate flag for a `0x` prefix, matching the
/// standard library convention for `u64` and other integer types.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use cnfy_uint::u256::U256;
///
/// let v = U256::from_be_limbs([0, 0, 0, 255]);
/// assert_eq!(format!("{:x}", v), "ff");
/// assert_eq!(format!("{:#x}", v), "0xff");
/// ```
