This time we tackle one of the most tricky areas for a new Rust programmer: lifetimes. The key point is that when we add lifetime bounds ('a or similar) to a function signature, this is not to help Rust compile our function: it's to help Rust unde...

A tour of some of the most interesting traits in the standard library including Add etc. to overload operators, Sized, Sync and Send for telling the compiler special things about your type, Clone and Copy for copying things, Into and...

Following on from video 12, looking at how to add type information to traits, to make them flexible enough to describe generic code with different types, for example how to add a u32 to a u64 and retu...

Explaining what a trait is, and how to use it. A trait is a bit like an Interface in Java or Go, or an Abstract Base Class in C++ or Python, but it can be used to define behaviour at compile-time as well as at run-time. We go through an example of...

What a String is in Rust, and how they differ from &str. Strings are resizeable arrays of bytes that are guaranteed to be in UTF-8 format. &strs are references to chunks of bytes that are also guaranteed to be in UTF-8 format. If you want to le...

Explanation of some of the most commonly used types in Rust: Vecs, which store lists of items, Boxes that allow us to own things that we keep on the heap, and slices that are a way of referring to parts of Vecs or arrays without owning them. In...
