Treatment toI8

conv/u16::toI8

Parameters

↳ var or_default: i8 = 0
↳ var truncate: bool = true

Inputs

⇥ value: Stream<u16>

Outputs

↦ into: Stream<i8>

Convert stream of u16 into i8.

As this conversion might be lossy (every possible u16 value cannot fit into i8), truncate allows value to be truncated to fit into a i8, and or_default set the value that is assigned when a u16 is out of range for i8 and truncation not allowed.

Truncation happens on the binary level, thus: 10010110 (150 if unsigned, -106 if signed) → 0110 (6).
