pub trait Hashable {
type Output: Into<u64> + Copy + Ord;
// Required method
fn hashed(&self) -> Self::Output;
}
Expand description
Types with a hashed
method, producing an unsigned output of some type.
The output type may vary from a u8
up to a u64
, allowing types with simple keys
to communicate this through their size. Certain algorithms, for example radix sorting,
can take advantage of the smaller size.
