Statically allocated

Front

Allocation of memory at compile time before the program is executed.

Back

arity

Front

number of elements in a tuple

Back

mutable variable binding

Front

a binding which you are allowed to change what it points to

Back

Statement

Front

The smallest standalone element of a programming language that commands a computer to perform an action (doesn't necessarily evaluate to a single value)

Back

associated function

Front

Rust way of saying "static function" aka function that is called on the type itself, not the instance of a type

Back

zero-cost abstraction

Front

abstractions that cost as little as possible in order to work

Back

pattern

Front

The left side of a let statement (not necessarily a variable)

Back

Expression-Oriented Language

Front

Language where every statement is an expression and therefore returns a value.

Back

method

Front

functions available on the instance of a type, rather than the type itself

Back

vector

Front

A growable array. Always allocate their data as contiguous arrays on the heap. Must know the size of its type at compile time (if unknown, use pointers).

Back

mutable bindings

Front

Ability to change which value a variable is bound to (?)

Back

rules of borrowing

Front

You may have one or the other of these two kinds of borrows, but not both at the same time: - one or more references (&T) to a resource - exactly one mutable reference (&mut T)

Back

Shadowing

Front

a later variable binding with the same name as another binding that is currently in scope will override the previous binding

Back

mutable reference

Front

a reference which you can use to change a variable binding

Back

variables with ownership

Front

variables whose resources are freed once a binding goes out of scope

Back

prelude

Front

Stuff that is always imported without `use`

Back

destructuring let

Front

let statement that unpacks a tuple

Back

Expression

Front

A combination of values, constants, variables, operators and functions that evaluate to a single value.
