Rust Load a TOML File
Good Morro Crusty ones 😘. In todays episode of learning Rust, I will show you how to load a TOML file in Rust and additionally handle any possible errors. Software The following software was used in this post. Rust - 1.57.0 toml crate - 0.5.2 serde crate - 1.0.136 ...continue reading
Rust Notes: Enums
An enum is a type which can be ONE of a FEW different variants. // Create an instance of the enum variants with the double colon. let blah = StuffAndThings::Blah; let bleh = StuffAndThings::Bleh(42); let stuff = StuffAndThings::Stuff(String::from("Stuff"), true); let things =...continue reading
Rust Notes: Hash Maps
A HashMap is a generic collection of key/value pairs. All of the keys must have the same type, and all of the values must have the same type. HashMap Considerations A hash maps data is stored on the heap. A hash maps size is not known at compile time, they can grow or shrink at run...continue reading
Rust Notes: Vectors
A vector is a collection of items of the same type. Vector Considerations When an empty vector is created with Vec::new it is un-allocated until elements are pushed into it. A vector with elements has allocated memory and lives on the heap. A vector is represented as a pointer to the...continue reading
Rust Notes: Traits
A trait in Rust is similar to an interface in other languages. Traits define the required behaviour a type MUST implement to satisfy the trait (interface). // Structs that implement the `Greeter` trait. struct Person struct Dog } // Implement the `Greeter` trait for the...continue reading
Rust Notes: Structs
A struct in Rust is used to encapsulate data. structs can have fields, associated functions and methods. // Instantiate an immutable struct. let sat = StuffAndThings Associated Function Associated functions are tied to an instance of a struct and are usually used as...continue reading
Rust Notes: Traits
A trait in Rust is similar to an interface in other languages. Traits define the required behaviour a type MUST implement to satisfy the trait (interface). // Structs that implement the `Greeter` trait. struct Person struct Dog } // Implement the `Greeter` trait for the...continue reading
Rust Notes: Strings
There are two "mainly used" string types in Rust. The str slice, which is mostly seen as a borrowed &str slice. And the errm ... String. Wait ... Wut? String Considerations The data in a borrowed &str slice CANNOT be modified. The data in a String CAN be modified. A &str has a...continue reading
Rust Notes: Loops
For Loop A for expression extracts values from an iterator until the iterator is empty. for loops in Rust use a similar syntax to Python with the in keyword. } } // => i: blah j: blah' ) }} For Loop Considerations For loops can iterate over anything that implements the...continue reading
Rust Notes: Arrays
An array is a sequence of values, of the same type. A tuple is defined with square brackets []. Array Considerations Arrays live on the stack by default and have a fixed size. Traits are only implemented on an array with a size of 32 or less. Arrays with a size greater than 32 lose...continue reading
Rust Notes: Tuples
A tuple is a sequence of values, which can be of different types. A tuple is defined with circle brackets (). Tuple Considerations The number of elements in a tuple is known as its arity. Traits are only implemented on a tuple with an arity of 12 or less. Tuples with an arity...continue reading
Rust Notes: Chars
A char in Rust represents a single unicode scalar value. A char is defined as a single character within single quotes eg: ('a'). Char Considerations A char is not the same as a single str character. Strings DO NOT use chars internally. A char is always 4-bytes in length. continue reading
Rust Notes: If Conditionals
The if conditional block in Rust behaves similarly to other languages. In Rust, if blocks act as an expression and the resulting branch can be assigned to a variable. The resulting expression of an if branch can be assigned to a variable with the let keyword. If...continue reading
Rust Notes: Booleans
The boolean type in Rust is defined with the bool type annotation and can be either a true or false literal. Boolean Considerations false has a bit battern of 0x00 true has a bit battern of 0x01 Booleans cannot be used in arithmatic unless they are cast to a u8 continue reading
Rust Notes: Integers and Floats
Integers Integers represent whole numbers. Rust has both unsigned integers and signed integers. unsigned integers cannot be negative, and have a higher positive range than signed integers, that can be negative, but have a lower postive range. The following table lists the integer...continue reading
