Rust For Undergrads

Group multiple values into a single compound type using tuples, and access elements directly with dot notation. Explore pattern matching with tuples and see practical examples in code.

Learn how functions work in Rust for undergrads: a function is a block of organized code for a single action, including main and parametrized functions, with calls and printed results.

Learn how to return a value from a function in Rust by defining parameterized functions, invoking them, and understanding how semicolons affect expression vs statement results.

Explore control flow with for loops in Rust by initializing an array and iterating over its elements, assigning and reading values on each iteration.

Explore rust ownership and borrowing by showing how values have a single owner, how moves affect usage, and how references let functions access data.

Explore how race conditions occur when multiple pointers access the same data simultaneously, and show how returning a value instead of a reference prevents dangling lifetimes in Rust.

Explore recoverable errors in Rust by demonstrating Result with Ok and Err branches, unwrap vs match, and explicit error messages, including file not found scenarios.
