let x = 5; // x is immutable let mut x = 5; // x is mutable const MAX_POINTS: u32 = 100_000; // must be defined at compile time * 10:42 Type System in Rust * 15:52 Types in Rust * 19:06 Why does Rust have signed and unsigned integers? * 23:35 Slicing strings with &str * 27:35 enum * 27:55 struct * 28:19 Vec * 29:33 HashMap and HashSet * 33:00 Converting Signed to Unsigned Numbers

let unsigned_value: u8 = 200; let signed_value: i8 = unsigned_value as i8; * 36:12 What’s up with &str? * 43:31 Rust error messages * 45:28 What is a Struct?

struct User { username: String, email: String, sign_in_count: u64, active: bool, } // You can create an instance of a struct like this: let user1 = User { email: String::from("someone@example.com"), username: String::from("someusername123"), active: true, sign_in_count: 1, }; impl User { fn login(&mut self) { self.login_count += 1; } } * 49:17 SIIIIICK ××× PIIIICKS ×××
