63 or 64 bit integers.
The size of Int63 is always at least 63 bits. On a 64-bit platform it is just an int (63-bits), and on a 32-bit platform it is an int64.
Because Int63 has different sizes on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, there are several pitfalls to be aware of:
gen_between
and obs_between
produce generators and observers for values
satisfying lower_bound
and upper_bound
. Both functions raise an exception if
no values satisfy both lower_bound
and upper_bound
.

The number of bits available in this integer type. Note that the integer representations are signed
There are two pairs of integer division and remainder functions, /%
and %
, and
/
and rem
. They both satisfy the same equation relating the quotient and the
remainder:
x = (x /% y) * y + (x % y);
x = (x / y) * y + (rem x y);
The functions return the same values if x
and y
are positive. They all raise
if y = 0
.
The functions differ if x < 0
or y < 0
.
If y < 0
, then %
and /%
raise, whereas /
and rem
do not.
x % y
always returns a value between 0 and y - 1
, even when x < 0
. On the
other hand, rem x y
returns a negative value if and only if x < 0
; that value
satisfies abs (rem x y) <= abs y - 1
.
round
rounds an int to a multiple of a given to_multiple_of
argument, according
to a direction dir
, with default dir
being `Nearest
. round
will raise if
to_multiple_of <= 0
.
| `Down | rounds toward Int.neg_infinity | | `Up | rounds toward Int.infinity | | `Nearest | rounds to the nearest multiple, or `Up in case of a tie | | `Zero | rounds toward zero |
Here are some examples for round ~to_multiple_of:10
for each direction:
| `Down | {10 .. 19} --> 10 | { 0 ... 9} --> 0 | {-10 ... -1} --> -10 | | `Up | { 1 .. 10} --> 10 | {-9 ... 0} --> 0 | {-19 .. -10} --> -10 | | `Zero | {10 .. 19} --> 10 | {-9 ... 9} --> 0 | {-19 .. -10} --> -10 | | `Nearest | { 5 .. 14} --> 10 | {-5 ... 4} --> 0 | {-15 ... -6} --> -10 |
For convenience and performance, there are variants of round
with dir
hard-coded.
If you are writing performance-critical code you should use these.
