The String Type
The i32 type allows us to drop in a
number on the first side of the =
sign with no extra fanfare.
let alfa = ;The String type requires more work.
Creating a String variable looks like
this:
let alfa = String::from("Hello");String are defined like this:
let alfa = String::from("Hello");With i32 we could simply drop in the number on
the right side of the =, like:
let alfa = 7;the much longer String::from("Hello"). The first
word String defines the type. Then, from() is
where we pass in the piece of text we want to
String to be made of.
SOURCE CODE
fn main() {
let alfa = String::from("Hello");
println!("alfa is {}", alfa);
}
