A collection of exercises that I'm doing alongside Rust's official book, The Rust Programming Language.
| Directory | Chapter | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
branches/ |
3.5 Control Flow | Playing around with control structure syntax |
enums/ |
6 Enums and Pattern Matching | Explores enums, match, and if let |
functions/ |
3.3 Functions | Shows how Rust handles implicitly returned values |
hello_cargo/ |
1.3 Hello, Cargo! | A mixture of chapters 1.3 and 2, where I tried my hand at a range of functionality (like enums, Option, etc.) and got acquainted with cargo. Doesn't work because I decided to wait until I got further into the book to work with some of these concepts. |
hello_world/ |
1.2 Hello, World! | A simple hello world app |
stack_and_heap/ |
4 Understanding Ownership | Explores concepts relating to memory management: Ownership, references, moving pointers between variables, cloning data, and the difference between the stack and heap |
structs/ |
5 Using Structs to Structure Related Data | Introduces structs, impl and methods, associated functions, etc. |
types_and_structures/ |
3.5 Control Flow | Demonstrates tuples, arrays, and loops |
variables/ |
3.1 Variables and Mutability | A brief introduction to variable assignment and mutability in Rust |
library/ |
7 Managing Growing Projects with Packages, Crates, and Modules | Goes over some of the semantics around how code is organized in Rust, scope resolution, etc. |
collections/ |
8 Common Collections | Introduces some of Rust's compound data structures, collections, which can be used to store multiple values on the heap |
