Course 19 - Ultimate Rust Crash Course | Episode 2: Rust Core Foundations: Data Types, Control Flow, and String Handling
In this lesson, you’ll learn about:
You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:

- Core Data Representations in Rust:
- Scalar types: integers (signed i and unsigned u), floating-point types (f32, f64), booleans, and Unicode char values.
- Compound types: tuples (accessed via indexing or destructuring) and fixed-size arrays stored on the stack, along with their practical limits.
- Project Organization and Reusability:
- Moving logic into a library file (lib.rs).
- Exposing functions with the pub keyword and importing them using use statements.
- Control Flow and Program Logic:
- Using if as an expression that returns a value, replacing traditional ternary operators.
- Working with loops: loop (including labeled breaks), while, and for.
- Iterating with ranges, both exclusive (0..50) and inclusive (0..=50).
- Understanding Rust Strings:
- Differences between borrowed string slices (&str) and owned, heap-allocated String types.
- Why UTF-8 encoding prevents direct character indexing.
- Safely accessing string data using iterators like .bytes(), .chars(), and .nth().
- Practical Application:
- Processing command-line arguments as vectors of strings.
- Applying loops and conditional logic to perform numeric operations such as summing ranges or repeatedly modifying values until a condition is met.
