Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Rust

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The reason is that the passing_through variable outlives x."

A block of code is set as follows:

fn my_function() {    let x = 10;    do_something(x); // ownership is moved here    let y = x; // x is now invalid!}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

fn main() {     let mut a = 42;     let b = &a; // borrow a     let c = &mut a; // borrow a again, mutably     // ... but don't ever use b}
