- Ownership and Memory Management in Rust:
- How Rust guarantees memory safety without a garbage collector.
- The difference between stack and heap memory and how data lifecycles are managed.
- The Mechanics of Ownership:
- Rust’s three core ownership rules:
- Every value has a single owner.
- Only one owner exists at a time.
- Values are dropped immediately when the owner goes out of scope.
- The distinction between moving values (invalidating the original variable) and cloning values (performing a deep copy).
- Rust’s three core ownership rules:
- References and Borrowing:
- Using references to access data without transferring ownership.
- The role of lifetimes in ensuring references always point to valid data.
- The borrowing rules: either one mutable reference or multiple immutable references, but never both at the same time.
- How the dot operator automatically dereferences values for method access.
- Practical Application (Exercise E):
- Inspecting: Reading data using an immutable reference (&String).
- Changing: Modifying data through a mutable reference (&mut String).
- Eating: Passing ownership to a function, consuming the value and making it unavailable afterward.
- Why These Rules Matter:
- Preventing segmentation faults, data races, and dangling pointers.
- Writing safer, more reliable code despite initial compiler challenges.
