Basically, [u8] + "I promise this slice of bytes is a valid utf8 string" = str Vec + "...(same as above)..." = String Since we don't usually use [u8] without & or &mut, we also don't usually use str without & and &mut. Also, &Vec derefs into &[u8] via the Deref trait and &String derefs into &str via the Deref trait too.

Yeah, and don't forget: The length of the u8 slice is not neccessarily equal to the length of the string, as a unicode character in UTF8 may span more than one byte. Correct?

I like the way that you've got your monitor high and to your right, so that when you're typing, it almost looks like you can see the code as we see it in the composite image. I'd think about moving your monitor a little higher, to emphasise this a bit more. I don't know if anyone else would ever notice but I WOULD. ;)

Nice, yeah actually the first time I did green screen it happened to serendipitously turn out this way, ever since then it's been deliberate. Good point about the monitor being higher, that makes sense! I'll likely be building out a little studio soon, so I'll definitely incorporate that...

Thanks. I've thought about this several times in the past and always lost the gist of it after a while. I found drawing out the memory structures and pointers, to get a proper understanding, helps me retain stuff better. Diagrams are also great for lifetimes. Back in the 80s, I didn't have any trouble learning C and C++, I suppose it's being retired and older.

Another reason for &String is that if you have an owned but the methods takes a slice, you can just throw the ref on there it will auto-convert it to &str - just shorter than .as_str() on it (which I'm not sure if as_str() is a compiler trick under the hood or if that's actually runtime method call (as it appears), but the & in front of String would (I believe) be all compile time, so it could possibly be faster too. Maybe worth a 1M call loop test to check if any performance diff.
@codetothemoon

Good point, yeah I'm not sure if .as_str() is equivalent to just using & either. I find auto coercion using the Deref trait pretty handy in general...

"A borrowed reference take a known amount of memory as it is ultimately a pointer.' But where does the 'thing' that it's pointing to exist? i.e [1,2,3]. I don't quite see how the size of [1,2,3] is not known statically and yet &[1,2,3] is. Is the size of [1,2,3] encoded in the pointer? (But if it is then it must(?) have been determined at compile time.) Could you explain a bit more please? Thanks
@codetothemoon
2 жыл бұрын
In this example, [1,2,3] is a literal and thus is included in the program executable, and I believe is loaded into memory alongside the machine code instructions for the program, so that's what the pointer points to. This is a little confusing - In this particular example we know the size of [1,2,3], and we could assign it to an array which carries a known size at compile time - similar to what we are doing on line 5. But because we are assigning it to a variable of a slice type on line 6, and the size of slices isn't known at compile time, we get a compiler error. Hopefully that makes sense :)

Correct me if I’m wrong but the slc2 where you said it doesn’t make a copy, that’s wrong. Integers implement the copy trait so any reference to an integer makes a copy hence why you don’t need the .copy() method on borrowed integers.

@@codetothemoon My confusion, I believe, stems from mostly seeing Vec used in the book. I am also confused why `let a [i32] = [1,2,3];` would give an error. This seems exactly like the sort of case that the rust compiler would be able to figure out, similar to how `let x = 3;` works fine, since the compiler sees that 3 is i32 (assumed) and goes along with it happily.

What is the difference between Rc and Box?
@codetothemoon
2 жыл бұрын
The short answer is that Rc is for when the data needs to be referenced from multiple places and should be cleaned up when nothing references it anymore, and Box is for when it only needs one owner and should be cleaned up when that one owner goes out of scope. For more info check out my video called "Rust's Alien Data Types" - we cover them more thoroughly there!

1:27 Isn't the value actually a reference to an array instead of a reference to a slice, and it only coerces to a reference to a slice because of the explicit type annotation? Edit: Same for the subsequent `slc_smart` declaration. It only ends up a boxed slice because of the explicit type annotation, since the value is a boxed array.
