A trait for a type that can be squared to produce a wider type. This trait enables squaring operations where the result type has double the bit width of the input type, preventing overflow in cases where the result would exceed the input type’s maximum value.

​
Signature

pub trait WideSquare

​
Examples

use core::num::traits::WideSquare;

let a: u8 = 16;
let result: u16 = a.wide_square();
assert!(result == 256);
