Error handling is a crucial aspect of writing robust and reliable code. In Rust, two common types for representing potential errors are Option and Result. While both are useful, there are situations where using Result provides a more expressive and idiomatic way to handle errors, especially when dealing with functions that can fail due to […]
This hex representation corresponds to the locking script (scriptPubKey) in a Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash (P2WPKH) output. When a Bitcoin transaction creates an output with this script, it essentially “locks” the funds to the specified conditions. Let’s dissect an example, the following is a hexadecimal representation of a P2WPKH script: Breaking it down: Now, let’s explain each part: […]
In Rust, an enum can contain variants that allow different types or associated data with each variant. You can define functions that operate on these associated data by implementing methods for the enum. Note the enum + impl rater than the common struct + impl Webdock Fast Cloud VPS Linux Hosting Example code: In this […]
Bitwise operators in Rust allow manipulation of individual bits in binary representations of data. They are useful for low-level operations like setting or clearing specific bits, creating bitmasks, and optimizing algorithms. Rust provides bitwise AND, OR, XOR, left shift, and right shift operators for efficient bit-level manipulation. Webdock – Fast Cloud VPS Linux Hosting Lets’s […]
Let’s talk about buffers in the context of Rust and also briefly touch on frame buffers. Buffers in Rust: In Rust, a buffer is typically a block of memory used for temporary storage of data. Buffers are commonly used when reading or writing data to or from sources like files, network sockets, or memory. They […]
