# Using a custom numeric type

The following example shows how to make a type defined outside this crate implement Numeric
so it can be used by this library for matrix operations.

In this case the type is `BigInt` from `num_bigint` but as this type is also
outside this crate we need to wrap it in another struct first so we can
implement traits on it due to Rust's orphan rules.

```
extern crate easy_ml;
extern crate num_bigint;
extern crate num_traits;

use std::ops::{Add, Sub, Mul, Div, Neg};
use std::iter::Sum;

use easy_ml::numeric::{ZeroOne, FromUsize};
use easy_ml::matrices::Matrix;
use num_bigint::{BigInt, ToBigInt, Sign};
use num_traits::{Zero, One};

#[derive(Clone, Eq, PartialEq, PartialOrd, Debug)]
struct BigIntWrapper(BigInt);

/*
 * First we define a utility function to obtain the &BigInt
 * from a &BigIntWrapper as we don't want to have to clone
 * the BigInt when we can avoid it.
 */

impl BigIntWrapper {
    /**
     * A utility function to get the &BigInt from a &BigIntWrapper
     */
    fn unwrap(&self) -> &BigInt {
        let BigIntWrapper(ref x) = *self;
        x
    }
}

/*
 * Then implement the two traits defined in easy_ml onto the wrapper.
 */

impl ZeroOne for BigIntWrapper {
    #[inline]
    fn zero() -> BigIntWrapper {
        BigIntWrapper(Zero::zero())
    }
    #[inline]
    fn one() -> BigIntWrapper {
        BigIntWrapper(One::one())
    }
}

impl FromUsize for BigIntWrapper {
    #[inline]
    fn from_usize(n: usize) -> Option<BigIntWrapper> {
        let bigint = ToBigInt::to_bigint(&n)?;
        Some(BigIntWrapper(bigint))
    }
}

/*
 * If we weren't wrapping BigInt and could have defined `ZeroOne`
 * and `FromUsize` directly on it we would stop here. As we have
 * to wrap it, all that's left is a lot of boilerplate to
 * redefine most of the traits BigInt already implements on our
 * wrapper.
