Course 19 - Ultimate Rust Crash Course | Episode 4: Rust Foundations: Structs, Traits, Collections


Listen Later

In this lesson, you’ll learn about:
  • Data Organization with Structs and Traits:
    • Using structs to group data fields, methods, and associated functions.
    • Defining shared behavior with traits instead of inheritance.
    • Writing generic functions that operate on any type implementing a required trait.
    • Using default trait implementations to share common behavior without repetitive code.
  • Managing Data with Standard Collections:
    • Vectors (Vec): Dynamic lists or stacks for storing items of the same type.
    • HashMaps: Key–value storage with efficient lookup and removal.
    • Specialized collections: VecDeque for double-ended queues, HashSet for set operations, and BTree collections for sorted data.
  • Advanced Logic with Enums and Pattern Matching:
    • Using enums as powerful data types that can hold different kinds of associated data.
    • Enforcing safety through exhaustive pattern matching with match and if let.
    • Core language enums:
      • Option for representing optional values without nulls.
      • Result for explicit and robust error handling.
  • Practical Application and Exercises:
    • Implementing state changes in structs using traits and methods.
    • Building simulations that combine enums, collections, and pattern matching.
    • Iterating over collections to calculate results based on enum variants.
