Most other data types represent one +specific value, but collections can contain multiple values. Unlike +the built-in array and tuple types, the data these collections point +to is stored on the heap, which means the amount of data does not need +to be known at compile time and can grow or shrink as the program +runs. + +This exercise will get you familiar with two fundamental data +structures that are used very often in Rust programs: + +* A *vector* allows you to store a variable number of values next to + each other. +* A *hash map* allows you to associate a value with a particular key. + You may also know this by the names *map* in C++, *dictionary* in + Python or an *associative array* in other languages. + +[Rust book chapter](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch08-01-vectors.html) diff --git a/exercises/collections/vec1.rs b/exercises/collections/vec1.rs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ac3d9f1 --- /dev/null +++ b/exercises/collections/vec1.rs @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +// vec1.rs +// Your task is to create a `Vec` which holds the exact same elements +// as in the array `a`. +// Make me compile and pass the test! +// Execute the command `rustlings hint collections1` if you need hints. + +// I AM NOT DONE + +fn array_and_vec() -> ([i32; 4], Vec) { + let a = [10, 20, 30, 40]; // a plain array + let v = // TODO: declare your vector here with the macro for vectors + + (a, v) +} + +#[cfg(test)] +mod tests { + use super::*; + + #[test] + fn test_array_and_vec_similarity() { + let (a, v) = array_and_vec(); + assert!(a.iter().zip(v.iter()).all(|(x, y)| x == y)); + } +} diff --git a/exercises/collections/vec2.rs b/exercises/collections/vec2.rs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ec6cfc0 --- /dev/null +++ b/exercises/collections/vec2.rs @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +// vec2.rs +// A Vec of even numbers is given.
