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

It’s great that we can move our `price` and `increase` functionality from standalone functions into the `Fruit` type itself. Like I mentioned above, this means we’re not cluttering up everything with extra function names. However, we still have one annoying function just sitting around: `new_fruit`. It would be repetitive to have a `new_fruit`, `new_book`, `new_missiles`, etc. set of functions all over the place.

There’s another concept inside an `impl` block which will help with this: static methods. A static method is a method that doesn’t take a `self` as the first parameter. So, for example, we can change `new_fruit` into a `new` static method with the code:
