[−][src]Module varint_rs::zigzag
Zigzag encoding is an alternative way of encoding negative numbers.
In zigzag encoding, the least-significant bit is used to represent the sign.
Counting up alternates between non-negative and negative numbers as the LSB
switches between 0
and 1
.
Example
// to allow the use of the `Zigzag::zigzag` function use varint_rs::zigzag::Zigzag; // create an i32 set to `300` let number: i32 = 300; // encode the i32 into a u32 let encoded: u32 = number.zigzag(); // decode the u32 into an i32 let decoded: i32 = encoded.zigzag();
