Learn the basics of Rust programming from scratch, starting with the syntax, then moving to the core components of Rust.

Become a Rust Professional

In this module, we’ll start with the basics of the Rust programming language, and learn the syntax, philosophy, and the anatomy of Rust. With that in hand, we’ll move to some of the more unique parts of Rust, such as expression-oriented programming, ownership, and its robust type system.
In the latter half of the module, we’ll work through some of the core components of Rust, such as references, memory management, mutability, traits, slices, and generics.

The Ultimate Guide to Rust Programming

Inside the `std` crate, there’s a module called `ops`. Most of the operators we use, like `+` or `*`, are backed up by traits in that module. This allows us to use these operators on lots of different types. It also means that, if we feel like it, we can bypass the operators and use trait methods directly instead. However, we’re going to run into a new restriction, which is exactly why we’re discussing this topic now.

Let’s try to add two numbers together using the `add` method:
