While manipulating strings, it is a common requirement to slice parts of the string. The Slice Type in Rust makes it easy and error-free to slice strings. The Slice Type is particularly useful because it follows the principles of Ownership and Borrowing in Rust. 1 – Why do we need Read more…
When we work with pointer-based languages, we can possibly encounter dangling references. Not so in Rust. Dangling References in Rust are automatically taken care of by the compiler at compile-time. In this post, we will understand what dangling references are and how Rust avoids them. If you are new to Read more…
Borrowing is a fundamental concept of Rust programming language. Typically, when we pass ownership of an object to a function by reference, we cannot make changes to the object. It is immutable. However, many times, we may need to modify the object within the function. In this post, we look Read more…
To decode the concepts of Rust Ownership and Borrowing, let us start with an example: Looks like a pretty harmless piece of code. After declaration and initialization, the greetingMsg variable is passed to the function transfer_ownership(). We display the message within the function. Also, once the function execution is over, Read more…
Every programming language depends on data types. The same goes for Rust programming language. Rust Data Types cover the various needs of storing data. Since Rust is a statically typed language, data types become even more important. The Rust compiler uses the data types at the compilation time to make Read more…
Functions form the backbone of any programming language. They help make a program easier to maintain by reducing complexity. Even during development, breaking a program into logical blocks or functions can lead to a better design that is easier to test. Functions in Rust Programming Language are no different. Functions Read more…
Rust programming language is getting ever more popular. It has been voted as the Stackoverflow’s most loved language 4 times in a row. While it takes time for a programming language to create a space, Rust is slowly and steadily getting more adoption across the industry. This is in part Read more…
