rust_number

rust_number is a Rust port of number-precision for safer decimal arithmetic with f64.

It helps avoid common floating-point surprises such as:

0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3
1.0 - 0.9 != 0.1
3.0 * 0.3 != 0.9

Features

• Corrects common precision issues for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and rounding
• Supports decimal strings and scientific notation
• Exposes helper utilities like strip, digit_length, and float2fixed
• Includes iterator-based helpers for multi-value operations

Installation

Add this crate to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rust_number = "0.1.0"

Quick Start

use rust_number::{divide, minus, plus, round, strip, times};

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(strip(0.09999999999999998_f64, 15), 0.1);
    assert_eq!(plus(0.1, 0.2), 0.3);
    assert_eq!(minus(1.0, 0.9), 0.1);
    assert_eq!(times(3, 0.3), 0.9);
    assert_eq!(divide(1.21, 1.1), 1.1);
    assert_eq!(round(0.105, 2), 0.11);
}

Run the example locally:

cargo run --example basic_usage

API

• strip(num, precision) -> f64
• digit_length(num) -> u32
• float2fixed(num) -> i128
• plus(a, b) -> f64
• minus(a, b) -> f64
• times(a, b) -> f64
• divide(a, b) -> f64
• round(num, decimal) -> f64
• plus_all(values) -> f64
• minus_all(values) -> f64
• times_all(values) -> f64
• divide_all(values) -> f64
• enable_boundary_checking(enabled)

All numeric APIs accept:

• integer types
• f32 / f64
• &str
• String

Multi-Value Operations

use rust_number::{divide_all, plus_all, times_all};

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(plus_all([0.1, 0.2, 0.3]), 0.6);
    assert_eq!(times_all([0.1, 0.2, 10.0]), 0.2);
    assert_eq!(divide_all([1.2, 0.3, 2.0]), 2.0);
}

Scientific Notation

use rust_number::{digit_length, divide, float2fixed, times};

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(digit_length(1.23e-5), 7);
    assert_eq!(float2fixed(1.23e-5), 123);
    assert_eq!(times("2.5e-3", "4e2"), 1.0);
    assert_eq!(divide("3e-4", "1.5e-2"), 0.02);
}
