Characters

NOTE: This was originally right after booleans in the early Data Types chapter. I'm moving it out for now because I rarely see char used independently. We'll address in a later section.

The char type in Rust holds a single character. Variables of the char type are defined with single quotes. They can be set implicitly like this:

let alfa = 'a';

Or explicitly like this:

let bravo: char = 'b';

Here's the explicit version in a full program:

SOURCE CODE

fn main () {
  let charlie: char = 'c';
  println!("Value {charlie}");
}
