Enum SymbolType 

pub enum SymbolType {
    Scalar,
    Matrix,
    Operator,
    Quaternion,
}

Type of symbol (determines commutativity)

Symbols can represent different mathematical objects with different algebraic properties. The symbol type determines whether operations involving this symbol are commutative.

Variants

Scalar

Scalar variable (default) - commutative

Examples: x, y, z, theta Properties: xy = yx

Matrix

Matrix variable - noncommutative

Examples: A, B, M (typically uppercase) Properties: AB ≠ BA in general

Operator

Quantum operator - noncommutative

Examples: x, p, H (position, momentum, Hamiltonian) Properties: [x,p] = xp - px ≠ 0

Quaternion

Quaternion - noncommutative

Examples: i, j, k Properties: ij = k, ji = -k

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SymbolType

fn clone(&self) -> SymbolType

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SymbolType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for SymbolType

fn default() -> SymbolType

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for SymbolType

fn deserialize<__D>( __deserializer: __D, ) -> Result<SymbolType, <__D as Deserializer<'de>>::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Hash for SymbolType

fn hash<__H>(&self, state: &mut __H)

where __H: Hasher,

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for SymbolType

fn eq(&self, other: &SymbolType) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for SymbolType

fn serialize<__S>( &self, __serializer: __S, ) -> Result<<__S as Serializer>::Ok, <__S as Serializer>::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Copy for SymbolType

impl Eq for SymbolType
