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

Previously, we did two different things with fields during a `match` expression:

  - Matched on them, e.g., `Teacher(Art)`

  - Used a wild card and ignored them, e.g., `Teacher(_)`

There’s another highly useful thing you can do, capture the field’s value in a variable. Then you can use that variable inside the expression. It’s easiest to see this in an example. So, behold my power levels!
