let mut array: [i32 ; 3] = [2,6,10]; array[1] = 4; array[2] = 6; 

Use the mut keyword to make it mutable.

let some_vector = vec![1,2,3,4,5]; 

A vector is declared using the vec! macro.

Calculates the capacity of the string in bytes.

Checks if the substring is contained inside the original string or not.

To perform type-casting in Rust one must use the as keyword.

let mut foo = 4; let mut borrowed_foo = &foo; println!("{borrowed_foo}"); 

let mut bar = 3; let mut mutable_borrowed_bar = &mut bar; println!("{mutable_borrowed_bar}"); 

Here borrowed value borrows the value from value one using & operator.

let mut borrow = 10; let deref = &mut borrow; println!("{}", *deref); 

De-referencing in rust can be done using the * operator

{ // The scope limited to this braces let a_number = 1; } println!("{a_number}"); 

This will produce error as the scope of the variable a_number ends at the braces
