In Rust rather than have to create separate structs to accept variables with different data types you can use a generic struct, eg accepting a float…or an integer. Without this, you would need to make one struct to accept u8 and one struct to f64 (if they are the 2 data types you desire). Let’s […]
Let’s look at how to use a “getter”method in Rust Programming Language. If you’ve used a getter method with object oriented languages you’ll be familiar with accessing data from an instance of a class. The method we use will allow us to get the car name string aka “cname” from the instance of the car […]
Define a struct, think of it like a Python dictionary, there is an option to include methods as well but we’ll leave that for another day. Note : ” If the struct also contains heap based data types such as a STRING, then the STRING pointer and associated information are put on the stack with the rest of the […]
In this example we access a string (stored on the heap) and modify it using the & to borrow it and update it. Integers can be modified on the stack, but a String is an Array of unknown length so it has to live on the heap… Get the Rust Example Code:
