Function |to_i8

conv/u64::|to_i8

Usage

|to_i8(value, truncate, or_default)

Parameters

↳ value: u64
↳ truncate: bool
↳ or_default: i8

Return

↴ i8

Turns u64 into i8.

As this conversion might be lossy (every possible u64 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 u64 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).
