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

Let’s try to use the tools we already have in our toolbox to make a `while` loop that exits. We’ll create a variable, `keep_going`. It will start off as `true`, and then we’ll make the variable equal to `false` inside the body of the `while` using name shadowing. As a reminder, name shadowing lets us create a new variable with the same name as the one before, e.g.:
