collections::fmt::LowerExp - Rust
Description: API documentation for the Rust `LowerExp` trait in crate `collections`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, LowerExp

# Trait collections::fmt::LowerExp 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub trait LowerExp {
        fn fmt(&self, &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>;
    }

Format trait for the `e` character.

The `LowerExp` trait should format its output in scientific notation with a lower-case `e`.

For more information on formatters, see the module-level documentation.

# Examples

Basic usage with `i32`:

    let x = 42.0; // 42.0 is '4.2e1' in scientific notation

    assert_eq!(format!("{:e}", x), "4.2e1");Run

Implementing `LowerExp` on a type:

    use std::fmt;

    struct Length(i32);

    impl fmt::LowerExp for Length {
        fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
            let val = self.0;
            write!(f, "{}e1", val / 10)
        }
    }

    let l = Length(100);

    println!("l in scientific notation is: {:e}", l);Run

## Required Methods

### `fn fmt(&self, &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>`

Formats the value using the given formatter.

## Implementors

- `impl<'a, T> LowerExp for &'a T where T: LowerExp + ?Sized`

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
