Implement division for `I256`
Closed this issue · 2 comments

Currently, the 256-bit signed integer type does not implement division (oops!). This issue captures the work for implementing division and division related operations:
- Implement
Div
andRem
traits for division and remainder (modulo) calcuations. - Implement
{overflowing,checked,wrapping,saturating}_{div,rem,div_rem}
methods for all the different flavours of standard division and remainder calculations. - Implement
{overflowing,checked,wrapping,saturating}_{div,rem,div_rem}_euclid
for euclidean versions of the above calculations. Note that euclidian division and remainder have slightly different semantics than standard integer division when the divisor is negative.

Sounds like a nice juicy task however I will require more clarification on the meaning of {overflowing,checked,wrapping,saturating}_{div,rem,div_rem}
and your definition of the difference between euclidean and standard integer division when divisor is negative.
