Primitive Type f321.0.0[−]

Expand description

A 32-bit floating point type (specifically, the “binary32” type defined in IEEE 754-2008).

This type can represent a wide range of decimal numbers, like 3.5, 27, -113.75, 0.0078125, 34359738368, 0, -1. So unlike integer types (such as i32), floating point types can represent non-integer numbers, too.

However, being able to represent this wide range of numbers comes at the cost of precision: floats can only represent some of the real numbers and calculation with floats round to a nearby representable number. For example, 5.0 and 1.0 can be exactly represented as f32, but 1.0 / 5.0 results in 0.20000000298023223876953125 since 0.2 cannot be exactly represented as f32. Note, however, that printing floats with println and friends will often discard insignificant digits: println!("{}", 1.0f32 / 5.0f32) will print 0.2.

Additionally, f32 can represent some special values:

  • −0.0: IEEE 754 floating point numbers have a bit that indicates their sign, so −0.0 is a possible value. For comparison −0.0 = +0.0, but floating point operations can carry the sign bit through arithmetic operations. This means −0.0 × +0.0 produces −0.0 and a negative number rounded to a value smaller than a float can represent also produces −0.0.
  • ∞ and −∞: these result from calculations like 1.0 / 0.0.
  • NaN (not a number): this value results from calculations like (-1.0).sqrt(). NaN has some potentially unexpected behavior: it is unequal to any float, including itself! It is also neither smaller nor greater than any float, making it impossible to sort. Lastly, it is considered infectious as almost all calculations where one of the operands is NaN will also result in NaN.

Examples

let f = 3.01_f32;
let g = 4.0_f32;

assert_eq!(f.ceil(), 4.0);
assert_eq!(g.ceil(), 4.0);
Run

Returns the nearest integer to a number. Round half-way cases away from 0.0.

Examples

let g = -3.3_f32;

assert_eq!(f.round(), 3.0);
assert_eq!(g.round(), -3.0);
Run

let g = 3.0_f32;
let h = -3.7_f32;

assert_eq!(f.trunc(), 3.0);
assert_eq!(g.trunc(), 3.0);
assert_eq!(h.trunc(), -3.0);
Run

Returns the fractional part of a number.

Examples

let x = 3.6_f32;
let y = -3.6_f32;
let abs_difference_x = (x.fract() - 0.6).abs();
let abs_difference_y = (y.fract() - (-0.6)).abs();

assert!(abs_difference_x <= f32::EPSILON);
assert!(abs_difference_y <= f32::EPSILON);
Run

Computes the absolute value of self. Returns NAN if the number is NAN.

Examples

let x = 3.5_f32;
let y = -3.5_f32;

let abs_difference_x = (x.abs() - x).abs();
let abs_difference_y = (y.abs() - (-y)).abs();

assert!(abs_difference_x <= f32::EPSILON);
assert!(abs_difference_y <= f32::EPSILON);

assert!(f32::NAN.abs().is_nan());
Run

Returns a number that represents the sign of self.

  • 1.0 if the number is positive, +0.0 or INFINITY
  • -1.0 if the number is negative, -0.0 or NEG_INFINITY
  • NAN if the number is NAN

Examples

let f = 3.5_f32;

assert_eq!(f.signum(), 1.0);
assert_eq!(f32::NEG_INFINITY.signum(), -1.0);

assert!(f32::NAN.signum().is_nan());
Run

Returns a number composed of the magnitude of self and the sign of sign.

Equal to self if the sign of self and sign are the same, otherwise equal to -self. If self is a NAN, then a NAN with the sign of sign is returned.

Examples

let f = 3.5_f32;

assert_eq!(f.copysign(0.42), 3.5_f32);
assert_eq!(f.copysign(-0.42), -3.5_f32);
assert_eq!((-f).copysign(0.42), 3.5_f32);
assert_eq!((-f).copysign(-0.42), -3.5_f32);

assert!(f32::NAN.copysign(1.0).is_nan());
Run

Fused multiply-add. Computes (self * a) + b with only one rounding error, yielding a more accurate result than an unfused multiply-add.

Using mul_add may be more performant than an unfused multiply-add if the target architecture has a dedicated fma CPU instruction. However, this is not always true, and will be heavily dependant on designing algorithms with specific target hardware in mind.

Examples

let m = 10.0_f32;
let x = 4.0_f32;
let b = 60.0_f32;

// 100.0
let abs_difference = (m.mul_add(x, b) - ((m * x) + b)).abs();

assert!(abs_difference <= f32::EPSILON);
Run

Calculates Euclidean division, the matching method for rem_euclid.

This computes the integer n such that self = n * rhs + self.rem_euclid(rhs). In other words, the result is self / rhs rounded to the integer n such that self >= n * rhs.

Examples

let a: f32 = 7.0;
let b = 4.0;
assert_eq!(a.div_euclid(b), 1.0); // 7.0 > 4.0 * 1.0
assert_eq!((-a).div_euclid(b), -2.0); // -7.0 >= 4.0 * -2.0
assert_eq!(a.div_euclid(-b), -1.0); // 7.0 >= -4.0 * -1.0
assert_eq!((-a).div_euclid(-b), 2.0); // -7.0 >= -4.0 * 2.0
Run

Calculates the least nonnegative remainder of self (mod rhs).

In particular, the return value r satisfies 0.0 <= r < rhs.abs() in most cases. However, due to a floating point round-off error it can result in r == rhs.abs(), violating the mathematical definition, if self is much smaller than rhs.abs() in magnitude and self < 0.0. This result is not an element of the function’s codomain, but it is the closest floating point number in the real numbers and thus fulfills the property self == self.div_euclid(rhs) * rhs + self.rem_euclid(rhs) approximatively.

Examples

let a: f32 = 7.0;
let b = 4.0;
assert_eq!(a.rem_euclid(b), 3.0);
assert_eq!((-a).rem_euclid(b), 1.0);
assert_eq!(a.rem_euclid(-b), 3.0);
assert_eq!((-a).rem_euclid(-b), 1.0);
// limitation due to round-off error
assert!((-f32::EPSILON).rem_euclid(3.0) != 0.0);
Run

Raises a number to an integer power.

Using this function is generally faster than using powf

Run

Raises a number to a floating point power.

Run

Returns NaN if self is a negative number other than -0.0.

let abs_difference = (positive.sqrt() - 2.0).abs();

assert!(abs_difference <= f32::EPSILON);
assert!(negative.sqrt().is_nan());
assert!(negative_zero.sqrt() == negative_zero);
Run

Returns e^(self), (the exponential function).

Examples

let one = 1.0f32;
// e^1
let e = one.exp();

// ln(e) - 1 == 0
let abs_difference = (e.ln() - 1.0).abs();

assert!(abs_difference <= f32::EPSILON);
Run

Returns 2^(self).

Examples

// 2^2 - 4 == 0
let abs_difference = (f.exp2() - 4.0).abs();

assert!(abs_difference <= f32::EPSILON);
Run

Examples

let one = 1.0f32;

assert!(abs_difference <= f32::EPSILON);
Run

Returns the logarithm of the number with respect to an arbitrary base.

The result might not be correctly rounded owing to implementation details; self.log2() can produce more accurate results for base 2, and self.log10() can produce more accurate results for base 10.

let five = 5.0f32;

// log5(5) - 1 == 0
let abs_difference = (five.log(5.0) - 1.0).abs();

assert!(abs_difference <= f32::EPSILON);
Run

Run

Returns the base 10 logarithm of the number.

Examples

let abs_difference = (ten.log10() - 1.0).abs();

assert!(abs_difference <= f32::EPSILON);
Run
👎 Deprecated since 1.10.0:

you probably meant (self - other).abs(): this operation is (self - other).max(0.0) except that abs_sub also propagates NaNs (also known as fdimf in C). If you truly need the positive difference, consider using that expression or the C function fdimf, depending on how you wish to handle NaN (please consider filing an issue describing your use-case too).

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (float_interpolation #86269)

Linear interpolation between start and end.

This enables linear interpolation between start and end, where start is represented by self == 0.0 and end is represented by self == 1.0. This is the basis of all “transition”, “easing”, or “step” functions; if you change self from 0.0 to 1.0 at a given rate, the result will change from start to end at a similar rate.

Values below 0.0 or above 1.0 are allowed, allowing you to extrapolate values outside the range from start to end. This also is useful for transition functions which might move slightly past the end or start for a desired effect. Mathematically, the values returned are equivalent to start + self * (end - start), although we make a few specific guarantees that are useful specifically to linear interpolation.

These guarantees are:

  • If start and end are finite, the value at 0.0 is always start and the value at 1.0 is always end. (exactness)
  • If start and end are finite, the values will always move in the direction from start to end (monotonicity)
  • If self is finite and start == end, the value at any point will always be start == end. (consistency)

Raw transmutation to u32.

This is currently identical to transmute::<f32, u32>(self) on all platforms.

See from_bits for some discussion of the portability of this operation (there are almost no issues).

Note that this function is distinct from as casting, which attempts to preserve the numeric value, and not the bitwise value.

Examples

assert_ne!((1f32).to_bits(), 1f32 as u32); // to_bits() is not casting!
assert_eq!((12.5f32).to_bits(), 0x41480000);
Run

Raw transmutation from u32.

This is currently identical to transmute::<u32, f32>(v) on all platforms. It turns out this is incredibly portable, for two reasons:

  • Floats and Ints have the same endianness on all supported platforms.
  • IEEE-754 very precisely specifies the bit layout of floats.

However there is one caveat: prior to the 2008 version of IEEE-754, how to interpret the NaN signaling bit wasn’t actually specified. Most platforms (notably x86 and ARM) picked the interpretation that was ultimately standardized in 2008, but some didn’t (notably MIPS). As a result, all signaling NaNs on MIPS are quiet NaNs on x86, and vice-versa.

Rather than trying to preserve signaling-ness cross-platform, this implementation favors preserving the exact bits. This means that any payloads encoded in NaNs will be preserved even if the result of this method is sent over the network from an x86 machine to a MIPS one.

If the results of this method are only manipulated by the same architecture that produced them, then there is no portability concern.

If the input isn’t NaN, then there is no portability concern.

If you don’t care about signalingness (very likely), then there is no portability concern.

Note that this function is distinct from as casting, which attempts to preserve the numeric value, and not the bitwise value.

Create a floating point value from its representation as a byte array in big endian.

Examples

let value = f32::from_be_bytes([0x41, 0x48, 0x00, 0x00]);
assert_eq!(value, 12.5);

Create a floating point value from its representation as a byte array in little endian.

Examples

let value = f32::from_le_bytes([0x00, 0x00, 0x48, 0x41]);
assert_eq!(value, 12.5);
Run

Create a floating point value from its representation as a byte array in native endian.

As the target platform’s native endianness is used, portable code likely wants to use from_be_bytes or from_le_bytes, as appropriate instead.

Examples

let value = f32::from_ne_bytes(if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
    [0x41, 0x48, 0x00, 0x00]
} else {
    [0x00, 0x00, 0x48, 0x41]
});

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (total_cmp #72599)

Returns an ordering between self and other values. Unlike the standard partial comparison between floating point numbers, this comparison always produces an ordering in accordance to the totalOrder predicate as defined in IEEE 754 (2008 revision) floating point standard. The values are ordered in following order:

  • Negative quiet NaN
  • Negative signaling NaN
  • Negative infinity
  • Negative numbers
  • Negative subnormal numbers
  • Negative zero
  • Positive zero
  • Positive subnormal numbers
  • Positive numbers
  • Positive infinity
  • Positive signaling NaN
  • Positive quiet NaN

Note that this function does not always agree with the PartialOrd and PartialEq implementations of f32. In particular, they regard negative and positive zero as equal, while total_cmp doesn’t.

Example

#![feature(total_cmp)]
struct GoodBoy {
    name: String,
    weight: f32,
}

let mut bois = vec![
    GoodBoy { name: "Pucci".to_owned(), weight: 0.1 },
    GoodBoy { name: "Woofer".to_owned(), weight: 99.0 },
    GoodBoy { name: "Yapper".to_owned(), weight: 10.0 },
    GoodBoy { name: "Chonk".to_owned(), weight: f32::INFINITY },
    GoodBoy { name: "Abs. Unit".to_owned(), weight: f32::NAN },
    GoodBoy { name: "Floaty".to_owned(), weight: -5.0 },
];

bois.sort_by(|a, b| a.weight.total_cmp(&b.weight));
Run

Restrict a value to a certain interval unless it is NaN.

Returns max if self is greater than max, and min if self is less than min. Otherwise this returns self.

Note that this function returns NaN if the initial value was NaN as well.

Panics

Panics if min > max, min is NaN, or max is NaN.

Examples

assert!((-3.0f32).clamp(-2.0, 1.0) == -2.0);
assert!((0.0f32).clamp(-2.0, 1.0) == 0.0);
assert!((2.0f32).clamp(-2.0, 1.0) == 1.0);
assert!((f32::NAN).clamp(-2.0, 1.0).is_nan());

Converts a string in base 10 to a float. Accepts an optional decimal exponent.

This function accepts strings such as

  • ‘3.14’
  • ‘-3.14’
  • ‘2.5E10’, or equivalently, ‘2.5e10’
  • ‘2.5E-10’
  • ‘5.’
  • ‘.5’, or, equivalently, ‘0.5’
  • ‘inf’, ‘-inf’, ‘NaN’

Leading and trailing whitespace represent an error.

Grammar

All strings that adhere to the following EBNF grammar will result in an Ok being returned:

Float  ::= Sign? ( 'inf' | 'NaN' | Number )
Number ::= ( Digit+ |
             Digit+ '.' Digit* |
             Digit* '.' Digit+ ) Exp?
Exp    ::= [eE] Sign? Digit+
Sign   ::= [+-]
Digit  ::= [0-9]

Arguments

  • src - A string

Return value

Err(ParseFloatError) if the string did not represent a valid number. Otherwise, Ok(n) where n is the floating-point number represented by src.

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.
