Chapter 13 - Pointers - Rust Crash Course 🦀

Part of the Rust Crash Course: Welcome to the Rust Crash Course In this course, we will be learning Rust from scratch. This course is very fast paced and designed for programmers who already have some experience with another programming language such as Dart or JavaScript or Swift. We will talk about variables, constants, ownership, functions, structures, enumerations, collections such as tuples, vectors, hash-maps and iterators, optionals, error handling, lifetime specifiers, traits, pointers, generics, packages, crates, modules and paths, asynchronous programming and we will also create 2 sample applications using Rust to put all these concepts to use! Pointers lean towards advanced topics in Rust which we cannot leave out of this crash course. They allow you to have greater control over how your data is allocated and stored. In this chapter we will look at Box pointers, reference counting with Rc, weak and str
