Cairo Traits

Overview

Guide how to define and implement traits in Cairo, including bounds and default behavior.

Quick Use

• Read references/traits.md before answering.
• Show a minimal trait plus impl Name of Trait<T> example.
• Remind users to bring traits into scope to call trait methods.

Response Checklist

• Define trait methods with signatures only, unless providing defaults.
• Implement with impl ImplName of Trait<Type> { ... }.
• Include trait bounds when generics need specific behavior.

Example Requests

• "How do I implement a trait for a struct in Cairo?"
• "Why can't I call a trait method even though impl exists?"
• "Can a trait provide default method bodies?"
