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

To build up our practice with `Iterator`, and to build some understanding for the next section on `IntoIterator`, let’s write an `Iterator` for a `Vec`. We’re going to need a `struct` that holds onto two values:

  - The `Vec` we’re iterating over

  - The next position in the `Vec` we want to look at

If you remember from covering `Vec`s and slices, the data type we use for indexing in a `Vec` is a `usize` (machine sized unsigned integer). So, we can write our `VecIter` as:
