Rust Book Learning Journey 🦀

This repository contains my code implementations and exercises while working through The Rust Programming Language (also known as "The Rust Book").

About This Repository

As I progress through The Rust Book, I'm documenting my learning journey by implementing all the examples, exercises, and projects from each chapter. This repository serves as both a reference for my future self and a resource for others learning Rust.

Structure

The repository is organized by chapters from The Rust Book:

Rust_book/
├── chapter_1/     # Getting Started
├── chapter_2/     # Programming a Guessing Game
├── chapter_3/     # Common Programming Concepts
└── ...

Each chapter directory contains:

• Code examples from the book
• Exercise solutions
• Personal notes and experiments
• Mini-projects related to the chapter's concepts

Learning Path

• Chapter 1: Getting Started
• Chapter 2: Programming a Guessing Game
• Chapter 3: Common Programming Concepts
• Chapter 4: Understanding Ownership
• Chapter 5: Using Structs
• Chapter 6: Enums and Pattern Matching
• And more to come...

Running the Code

Each chapter contains independent Rust projects. To run any example:

cd chapter_X/project_name
cargo run

To run tests:

cargo test

Prerequisites
