UInt8

A 8 bit unsigned integer with values ranging from 0 to 255.

Extends

  • {"value": Field; }

Constructors

new UInt8()

new UInt8(x: number | bigint | FieldVar | UInt8): UInt8

Create a UInt8 from a bigint or number. The max value of a UInt8 is 2^8 - 1 = 255.

Warning: Cannot overflow past 255, an error is thrown if the result is greater than 255.

Parameters

x: number | bigint | FieldVar | UInt8

Returns

UInt8

Unsafe

static Unsafe: {
"fromField": UInt8;
};

fromField()

Create a UInt8 from a Field without constraining its range.

Warning: This is unsafe, because it does not prove that the input Field actually fits in 8 bits.\ Only use this if you know what you are doing, otherwise use the safe UInt8.from.

toAuxiliary()

static toAuxiliary: (value?: {
"value": Field;
}) => any[];

A function that takes value (optional), an element of type T, as argument and returns an array of any type that make up the "auxiliary" (non-provable) data of value.

Parameters

value?

the element of type T to generate the auxiliary data array from, optional. If not provided, a default value for auxiliary data is returned.

toCanonical()?

static optional toCanonical: (x: {
"value": Field;
}) => {
"value": Field;
};

Optional method which transforms a provable type into its canonical representation.

This is needed for types that have multiple representations of the same underlying value, and might even not have perfect completeness for some of those representations.

An example is the ForeignField class, which allows non-native field elements to exist in unreduced form. The unreduced form is not perfectly complete, for example, addition of two unreduced field elements can cause a prover error.

Specific protocols need to be able to protect themselves against incomplete operations at all costs. For example, when using actions and reducer, the reducer must be able to produce a proof regardless of the input action. toCanonical() converts any input into a safe form and enables us to handle cases like this generically.

Note: For most types, this method is the identity function. The identity function will also be used when the toCanonical() is not present on a type.

Parameters

x

x.value: Field= Field

Returns

{
"value": Field;
}
value
value: Field = Field;
