1 - Getting Started, Installing Rust, Hello World

Recommendations

  • Use rustfmt for code formatting
  • For IDE support, see rust-analyzer

2 - Programming a Guessing Game

Section titled “2 - Programming a Guessing Game”

  • By default, Rust brings in a set of items in the standard library called the prelude. It is in scope for every program.

  • For types outside the prelude, need a use statement to bring it in explicitly

  • Result from the io::stdin().read_line(&mut guess) in an enumeration, also called enum. Enums have variants. For Result it is Ok (operation succeeded) and Err (operation failed). The expect() method is called during an Err variant.
