Rust Data Types

Rust Data Types

 1. Scalar Data Types

Scalar types represent single values.

 Integer Types

 Floating-Point Types

 Boolean Type

 Character Type

✔ Rust char is 4 bytes (Unicode).

 2. Compound Data Types

Compound types group multiple values into one type.

Tuple

Fixed-size collection of different data types.

Destructuring:

 Array

Fixed-size collection of same data type.

 3. String Types (Very Important)

&str (String Slice)

• Immutable

• Stored in read-only memory

String (Heap Allocated)

 4. Custom Data Types

 Struct

 Enum

 5. Option Type (No Null in Rust)

Rust has no null. Instead:

 6. Result Type (Error Handling)

 Type Inference Example

 Important Notes

• Rust prevents invalid memory access

• No implicit type conversion

• Use as for explicit casting

• Safer than C/C++ data handling
