Field element helpers Unless otherwise stated everything is in little-endian byte order.

Required Methods

fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<F>

Deserialize from bytes

Errors

Returns error if deserialization fails.

fn from_hex(hex: &str) -> Result<F>

Deserialize from little-endian hex

Errors

Returns error if hex decoding or deserialization fails.

fn from_bits(bits: &[bool]) -> Result<F>

Deserialize from bits

Errors

Returns error if deserialization fails.

fn to_bytes(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Serialize to bytes

fn to_hex(&self) -> String

Serialize to hex

fn to_bits(&self) -> Vec<bool>

Serialize to bits

fn bits_to_field(&self, start: usize, end: usize) -> Result<F>

Create a new field element from this field elements bits

Errors

Returns error if deserialization fails.

Provided Methods

fn from_biguint(big: &BigUint) -> Result<F>

where F: PrimeField,

Deserialize from BigUint

Errors

Returns error if conversion fails.

fn to_biguint(&self) -> BigUint

where F: PrimeField,

Serialize field element to a BigUint

fn to_bigint_positive(&self) -> BigInt

where F: PrimeField,

Serialize field element f to a (positive) BigInt directly.

fn size_in_bytes() -> usize

where F: PrimeField,

Field size in bytes

fn modulus_biguint() -> BigUint

where F: PrimeField,

Get the modulus as BigUint

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
