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);

}
