Trait ScalarExt 

pub trait ScalarExt: Scalar {
    // Provided methods
    fn pow10(exponent: u8) -> Self { ... }
    fn signed_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering { ... }
    fn from_wrapping(value: U256) -> Self { ... }
    fn into_u256_wrapping(self) -> U256 { ... }
    fn from_byte_slice_via_hash(bytes: &[u8]) -> Self { ... }
}

Extension trait for blanket implementations for Scalar types. This trait is primarily to avoid cluttering the core Scalar implementation with default implementations and provides helper methods for Scalar.

Provided Methods

fn pow10(exponent: u8) -> Self

Compute 10^exponent for the Scalar. Note that we do not check for overflow.

fn signed_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

Compare two Scalars as signed numbers.

fn from_wrapping(value: U256) -> Self

Converts a U256 to Scalar, wrapping as needed

fn into_u256_wrapping(self) -> U256

Converts a Scalar to U256. Note that any values above MAX_SIGNED shall remain positive, even if they are representative of negative values.

fn from_byte_slice_via_hash(bytes: &[u8]) -> Self

Converts a byte slice to a Scalar using a hash function, preventing collisions. WARNING: Only up to 31 bytes (2^248 bits) are supported by PoSQL cryptographic objects. This function masks off the last byte of the hash to ensure the result fits in this range.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
