CHICO

A tiny library to work with base-10, base-16, and base-2 numbers in Rust!

ABOUT

Since I like numbers and I like Rust, I thought I'd port a library that I wrote in Javascript and Dart to Rust. These three projects all have one thing in common: They all provide simple methods to convert between numbers of different bases. These bases are 2, 10, and 16. Enjoy! Nota bene: I like the Marx brothers.

INSTALLATION

FOR RUST PROJECTS

To use Chico in your Rust project, add this line to your project's Cargo.toml:

chico = "0.3.0"

FOR THE COMMAND LINE

You can install Chico via Cargo itself using this command:

cargo install chico

Alternatively, you can download a compiled binary for 64-bit systems from this repository's Releases section.
