Struct RANDOM_SEED

pub struct RANDOM_SEED { /* private fields */ }

The random static seed.

Methods from Deref<Target = Seed>

pub fn as_ascii(&self) -> Option<&[AsciiChar; N]>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

Converts this array of bytes into an array of ASCII characters, or returns None if any of the characters is non-ASCII.

Examples

#![feature(ascii_char)]

const HEX_DIGITS: [std::ascii::Char; 16] =
    *b"0123456789abcdef".as_ascii().unwrap();

assert_eq!(HEX_DIGITS[1].as_str(), "1");
assert_eq!(HEX_DIGITS[10].as_str(), "a");

pub unsafe fn as_ascii_unchecked(&self) -> &[AsciiChar; N]

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

Converts this array of bytes into an array of ASCII characters, without checking whether they’re valid.

Safety

Every byte in the array must be in 0..=127, or else this is UB.

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]

Returns a slice containing the entire array. Equivalent to &s[..].

pub fn each_ref(&self) -> [&T; N]

Borrows each element and returns an array of references with the same size as self.

Example

let floats = [3.1, 2.7, -1.0];
let float_refs: [&f64; 3] = floats.each_ref();
assert_eq!(float_refs, [&3.1, &2.7, &-1.0]);

This method is particularly useful if combined with other methods, like map. This way, you can avoid moving the original array if its elements are not Copy.

let strings = ["Ferris".to_string(), "♥".to_string(), "Rust".to_string()];
let is_ascii = strings.each_ref().map(|s| s.is_ascii());
assert_eq!(is_ascii, [true, false, true]);

// We can still access the original array: it has not been moved.
assert_eq!(strings.len(), 3);

pub fn split_array_ref<const M: usize>(&self) -> (&[T; M], &[T])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (split_array)

Divides one array reference into two at an index.

The first will contain all indices from [0, M) (excluding the index M itself) and the second will contain all indices from [M, N) (excluding the index N itself).

Panics

Panics if M > N.

Examples

#![feature(split_array)]

let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

{
   let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<0>();
   assert_eq!(left, &[]);
   assert_eq!(right, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<2>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[3, 4, 5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<6>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[]);
}

pub fn rsplit_array_ref<const M: usize>(&self) -> (&[T], &[T; M])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (split_array)

Divides one array reference into two at an index from the end.

The first will contain all indices from [0, N - M) (excluding the index N - M itself) and the second will contain all indices from [N - M, N) (excluding the index N itself).

Panics

Panics if M > N.

Examples

#![feature(split_array)]

let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

{
   let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<0>();
   assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
   assert_eq!(right, &[]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<2>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<6>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
}
