Function data_encoding::base::len [] [src]

pub fn len<B: Base>(base: &B) -> usize

Returns the period length of a base.

The period length of a base is the number of significant bits after which the encoding or decoding mechanism loops. In other words, the period length is the least common multiple of 8 and base.bit().

Panics

May panic if base does not satisfy the Base invariants.
