Study Notes

  • The Rust Standard Library offers a number of primitive types and library-defined operations on them.
  • These are available to all crates by default.
  • Implicit methods on primitive types are documented here.
  • The standard library defines The Rust Prelude, a small collection of traits that are imported into every module of every crate.
  • The standard library exports a number of standard macros.
  • The standard library provides a variety of data types, functions, and abstractions to make working with Rust code easier.
  • Slices can only be handled through pointers, and so come in many flavors.
  • The collections module defines maps, sets, linked lists, and other collection types.
  • Platform abstractions and I/O are provided in the io, fs, and net modules.
  • The thread module contains Rust's threading abstractions.

Explore the features and components of the Rust Standard Library, including primitive types, traits, macros, data types, collections, platform abstractions, I/O, and threading abstractions. Learn about the default accessibility of these components to all crates and implicit methods on primitive types.
