Enum Ordering 

#[repr(i8)]
pub enum Ordering {
    Less = -1,
    Equal = 0,
    Greater = 1,
}

Available on crate features crypto and std only.

An Ordering is the result of a comparison between two values.

Examples

use std::cmp::Ordering;

assert_eq!(1.cmp(&2), Ordering::Less);

assert_eq!(1.cmp(&1), Ordering::Equal);

assert_eq!(2.cmp(&1), Ordering::Greater);

Variants

Less = -1

An ordering where a compared value is less than another.

Equal = 0

An ordering where a compared value is equal to another.

Greater = 1

An ordering where a compared value is greater than another.

Implementations

impl Ordering

assert_eq!(Ordering::Greater.is_eq(), false);

pub const fn is_ne(self) -> bool

Available on (crate features rustls or boring or acme) and crate feature rustls only.

assert_eq!(Ordering::Greater.is_ne(), true);

pub const fn is_lt(self) -> bool

Available on (crate features rustls or boring or acme) and crate feature rustls only.

Returns true if the ordering is the Less variant.

Examples

use std::cmp::Ordering;

assert_eq!(Ordering::Less.is_lt(), true);
assert_eq!(Ordering::Equal.is_lt(), false);
assert_eq!(Ordering::Greater.is_lt(), false);

pub const fn is_gt(self) -> bool

Available on (crate features rustls or boring or acme) and crate feature rustls only.

Returns true if the ordering is the Greater variant.

pub const fn reverse(self) -> Ordering

Available on (crate features rustls or boring or acme) and crate feature rustls only.

Reverses the Ordering.

• Less becomes Greater.
• Greater becomes Less.
• Equal becomes Equal.

Examples

Basic behavior:

use std::cmp::Ordering;

assert_eq!(Ordering::Less.reverse(), Ordering::Greater);
assert_eq!(Ordering::Equal.reverse(), Ordering::Equal);
assert_eq!(Ordering::Greater.reverse(), Ordering::Less);

This method can be used to reverse a comparison:

let data: &mut [_] = &mut [2, 10, 5, 8];

// sort the array from largest to smallest.
data.sort_by(|a, b| a.cmp(b).reverse());

let b: &mut [_] = &mut [10, 8, 5, 2];
assert!(data == b);

pub const fn then(self, other: Ordering) -> Ordering

Available on (crate features rustls or boring or acme) and crate feature rustls only.

Chains two orderings.

Returns self when it’s not Equal. Otherwise returns other.

Examples

use std::cmp::Ordering;

let result = Ordering::Equal.then(Ordering::Less);
assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Less);

let result = Ordering::Less.then(Ordering::Equal);
assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Less);

let result = Ordering::Less.then(Ordering::Greater);
assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Less);

let result = Ordering::Equal.then(Ordering::Equal);
assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Equal);

let x: (i64, i64, i64) = (1, 2, 7);
let y: (i64, i64, i64) = (1, 5, 3);
let result = x.0.cmp(&y.0).then(x.1.cmp(&y.1)).then(x.2.cmp(&y.2));

assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Less);

pub fn then_with<F>(self, f: F) -> Ordering

where F: FnOnce() -> Ordering,

Available on (crate features rustls or boring or acme) and crate feature rustls only.

Chains the ordering with the given function.

Returns self when it’s not Equal. Otherwise calls f and returns the result.

Examples

use std::cmp::Ordering;

let result = Ordering::Equal.then_with(|| Ordering::Less);
assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Less);

let result = Ordering::Less.then_with(|| Ordering::Equal);
assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Less);

let result = Ordering::Less.then_with(|| Ordering::Greater);
assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Less);

let result = Ordering::Equal.then_with(|| Ordering::Equal);
assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Equal);

let x: (i64, i64, i64) = (1, 2, 7);
let y: (i64, i64, i64) = (1, 5, 3);
let result = x.0.cmp(&y.0).then_with(|| x.1.cmp(&y.1)).then_with(|| x.2.cmp(&y.2));

assert_eq!(result, Ordering::Less);

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Ordering

fn clone(&self) -> Ordering

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl ConditionallySelectable for Ordering

Ordering is #[repr(i8)] where:

• Less => -1
• Equal => 0
• Greater => 1

Given this, it’s possible to operate on orderings as if they’re integers, which allows leveraging conditional masking for predication.

fn conditional_select(a: &Ordering, b: &Ordering, choice: Choice) -> Ordering

Select a or b according to choice.

fn conditional_assign(&mut self, other: &Self, choice: Choice)

Conditionally assign other to self, according to choice.

fn conditional_swap(a: &mut Self, b: &mut Self, choice: Choice)

Conditionally swap self and other if choice == 1; otherwise, reassign both unto themselves.

impl ConstantTimeEq for Ordering

Ordering is #[repr(i8)] making it possible to leverage i8::ct_eq.

fn ct_eq(&self, other: &Ordering) -> Choice

Determine if two items are equal.

fn ct_ne(&self, other: &Self) -> Choice

Determine if two items are NOT equal.

impl ConstantTimeGreater for Ordering

fn ct_gt(&self, other: &Ordering) -> Choice

Determine whether self > other.

impl ConstantTimeLess for Ordering

fn ct_lt(&self, other: &Ordering) -> Choice

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

where __H: Hasher,

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for Ordering

fn cmp(&self, other: &Ordering) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

impl PartialEq for Ordering

fn eq(&self, other: &Ordering) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for Ordering

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Ordering) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.
