Rustlings Exercises Solutions

This repository contains my solutions to the Rustlings exercises. Rustlings is an excellent collection of exercises designed to help you learn Rust by solving small coding problems.

Purpose

The purpose of this repository is to document my progress as I work through the Rustlings exercises. Each section contains different exercises that help to understand and practice various concepts in Rust.

Sections

So far, I have solved the following sections:

1. Variables

   • Understanding variable declaration, type annotations, mutable variables, shadowing, and constants.

2. Functions

   • Learning function definitions, parameters, return types, and how to use expressions and statements.

3. If

   • Exploring if statements, the most basic form of control flow in Rust.
   • Control Flow - if expressions

4. Primitive Types

   • Delving into Rust's basic types that are essential for effective programming.
   • Data Types
   • The Slice Type

5. Vectors

   • Understanding Vectors, dynamic arrays that can grow and shrink at runtime.
   • Storing Lists of Values with Vectors
   • iter_mut
   • map

6. Move Semantics

   • Learning about ownership, references, and borrowing which are foundational to Rust's memory safety guarantees.
   • Ownership
   • Reference and borrowing

7. Structs

How to Use

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Nelly-Njeri/RustlingSolutions.git

   cd Rustlings-Solutions

2. Navigate to the topic folder you are interested in:

   cd variables

3. Open and review the exercise solutions

to compare with your own solutions or to seek guidance.
