+### Porting Reminders
+
+1. [Rust][4] and [C][5] have slightly different operator precedence. C evaluates comparisons (`== !=`) before bitwise operations (`& | ^`), while Rust evaluates the other way.
+2. C assumes wrapping operations everywhere. Rust panics on overflow when in debug mode. Consider using the [Wrapping][6] type or the explicit [wrapping_*][7] functions where applicable.
+3. Note [C implicit casts][8], especially integer promotion. Rust is much more explicit about casting, so be sure that any cast which affects the output is ported to the Rust implementation.
+4. Rust has [many functions][9] for integer or floating point manipulation in the standard library. Consider using one of these functions rather than porting a new one.
