62 // all the details, and refer you to the documentation instead.

83 // **Exercise 07.1**: Add some more testcases. In particular, make sure you test the behavior of
84 // `vec_min` on an empty vector. Also add tests for `BigInt::from_vec` (in particular, removing
85 // trailing zeros). Finally, break one of your functions in a subtle way and watch the test fail.
87 // **Exercise 07.2**: Go back to your good ol' `SomethingOrNothing`, and implement `Display` for it. (This will,
88 // of course, need a `Display` bound on `T`.) Then you should be able to use them with `println!` just like you do
89 // with numbers, and get rid of the inherent functions to print `SomethingOrNothing<i32>` and `SomethingOrNothing<f32>`.
