Trait Cast 

pub trait Cast<T: Sized = Self> {
    // Required method
    fn cast(&self) -> T;
}

Unary operator for casting values of one type to another.

Required Methods

fn cast(&self) -> T

Casts the value of self into a value of type T.

This method checks that the cast does not lose any bits of information.

To cast arbitrary field elements to addresses, use Field::cast_lossy.

impl<E: Environment> Cast<Address<E>> for Scalar<E>

fn cast(&self) -> Address<E>

Casts a Scalar to an Address.

impl<E: Environment> Cast<Boolean<E>> for IdentifierLiteral<E>

fn cast(&self) -> Boolean<E>

Casts an IdentifierLiteral to a Boolean.

Note: This cast always fails because valid identifier literals cannot map to boolean values (0x00 or 0x01). The byte 0x00 is null and 0x01 (SOH) is not a valid identifier character. This implementation exists for uniformity with the impl_cast_body! macro used by all literal types.

fn cast(&self) -> Group<E>

Casts a Boolean to a Group.

impl<E: Environment> Cast<Group<E>> for Field<E>

fn cast(&self) -> Group<E>

Casts a Field to a Group.

This operation attempts to recover the group element from the field element, and returns an error if the field element is not a valid x-coordinate.

To cast arbitrary field elements to groups, use Field::cast_lossy.

impl<E: Environment> Cast<Group<E>> for Scalar<E>

fn cast(&self) -> Group<E>

impl<E: Environment> Cast<IdentifierLiteral<E>> for Boolean<E>

fn cast(&self) -> IdentifierLiteral<E>

Casts a Boolean to an IdentifierLiteral.
