# round_mult [](https://crates.io/crates/round_mult) [](https://docs.rs/round_mult)
A tiny library to round a number up or down to a multiplier.
# Usage
The library has two functions:
- `round_mult::`[`up`]
- `round_mult::`[`down`]
They both take a value and a multiplier and round the value down or up to the multiplier respectively.
## Multiplier
There are two kind of multipliers:
- [`NonZeroPow2`] When the multiplier is a power of two, it can be calculated faster. Prefer it when possible.
- [`std::num::NonZeroU_`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/num/index.html#:~:text=to%20equal%20zero.-,NonZeroU8,An%20integer%20that%20is%20known%20not%20to%20equal%20zero.,-ParseFloatError) for any multiplier value.
# Example
E.g.
```rust
use std::num::NonZeroUsize;
use round_mult::NonZeroPow2;
assert_eq!(
round_mult::down(70usize, NonZeroPow2::v32()),
64
);
// These two are semantically equivalent:
assert_eq!(
round_mult::down(70usize, NonZeroPow2::new(32).unwrap()),
round_mult::down(70usize, NonZeroUsize::new(32).unwrap()),
);
// but NonZeroPow2 (the first parameter) is faster.
// However, it can't be used when the multiplier isn't a power of two.
// In that case use a NonZeroU_ type:
assert_eq!(
round_mult::down(109usize, NonZeroUsize::new(10).unwrap()),
100
);
assert_eq!(
round_mult::up(101usize, NonZeroUsize::new(10).unwrap()),
Some(110)
);
```
# Example: SIMD
The main motivation for this library is SIMD processing. Specifically when the length of data isn't a multiple of the SIMD lanes count, which means you will have a remainder of data to process without SIMD.
```rust
use round_mult::NonZeroPow2;
fn f(data: &[u8]) {
// for this example, assume we want to use u8x32 SIMD. We could do:
// type Simd = std::simd::u8x32;
// let lanes = NonZeroPow2::of::();
// but to keep this example compiling on stable, we could also use:
let lanes = NonZeroPow2::v32();
let mut i = 0;
while i < round_mult::down(data.len(), lanes) {
// SIMD process…
// let data = Simd::from_slice(s[i..]);
// etc. etc.
i += lanes.get();
}
while i < data.len() {
// remainder process…
i += 1;
}
}
```
