This course provides the best approach to learn Rust, starting from the basics and advancing to complex topics. It is an introduction to Rust for beginners aspiring to become skilled Rust developers.

The word is out: developers love Rust. It's rapidly becoming a top choice for systems and embedded programmers, and the demand for Rust developers is rising. Known for its performance, reliability, and productivity—especially compared to C++—Rust is a powerful language to master. If you're a systems developer, it's a fantastic next step.
In this course, you'll learn Rust by actively engaging in coding. You’ll start with a simple "Hello world" program and cover essential concepts like arrays, strings, vectors, enums, structures, traits, generics, functions, and logic. You'll also dive into advanced topics such as lifetime and memory management.
By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in Rust programming and be well-prepared to take on more advanced concepts, making it ideal for Rust beginners looking to become proficient Rust developers.

Rust Programming Language

# Precedence
The precedence of an operator determines which operation is performed first in an expression with more than one operators. 

Operators are listed below in the order of their precedence from highest to lowest : 

* **Unary** 
   * Logical/Bitwise NOT - `!`
   * Derereference - `*`
   * Borrow - `&`, `&mut`
* **Binary**
  * Typecast - `as` 
  * Multiplication- `*`,Division - `/`, Remainder - ` %`
  * Addition -`+`, Subtraction -` -`
  * Left Shift - `<<`, Right Shift - `>>`
  * Bitwise AND - `&`
  * Bitwise XOR - `^`
  * Bitwise OR - `|`
  * Comparison - `==` `!=` `<` `>` `<=` `>=`
  * Logical AND - `&&`
  * Logical OR - `||`
  * Range - `start` `..` `stop` 
  * Assignment/Compound Assignment - `=` `+=` `-=` `*=` `/=` `%=` 
`&=` `|=` `^=` `<<=` `>>=`
 
 
> **Note:** The operators that are written in the same row have the same order of precedence.


> **Note:** The range operator will be further explored while we discuss the `for` loop in the [Loops](https://www.educative.io/courses/rust-programming-language/definite-loop-for-loop) chapter.

This lesson discusses two important characteristics of operators - precedence and associativity.
