Is there any trait that specifies numeric functionality?

You can use num or num-traits crates and bound your generic function type with num::Float, num::Integer or whatever relevant trait: use num::Float; // 0.2.1 fn main() { let f1: f32 = 2.0; let f2: f64 = 3.0; let i1: i32 = 3; println!(“{:?}”, sqrt(f1)); println!(“{:?}”, sqrt(f2)); println!(“{:?}”, sqrt(i1)); // error } fn sqrt<T: Float>(input: T) … Read more

Is one’s complement a real-world issue, or just a historical one?

I work in the telemetry field and we have some of our customers have old analog-to-digital converters that still use 1’s complement. I just had to write code the other day to convert from 1’s complement to 2’s complement in order to compensate. So yes, it’s still out there (but you’re not going to run … Read more

Open source alternative to MATLAB’s fmincon function? [closed]

Is your problem convex? Linear? Non-linear? I agree that SciPy.optimize will probably do the job, but fmincon is a sort of bazooka for solving optimization problems, and you’ll be better off if you can confine it to one of the categories below (in increasing level of difficulty to solve efficiently) Linear Program (LP) Quadratic Program … Read more
