Rust Foundations through Systems Programming

Never written code before? Start here. You will learn the basics of Rust, functions, variables, types, decisions, loops, and slices. By the end you are ready for Project 1.

First functions

  1. A function that returns a value
  2. A function with an input
  3. Two inputs, a decimal result
  4. Returning text
  5. A two-step calculation

Variables and types

  1. A value with a name
  2. Change a value with mut
  3. Whole numbers and decimals
  4. Turn a decimal into a whole number
  5. A clearly named formula

Making choices

  1. Return a yes or no
  2. if and else are an expression
  3. Pick the larger of two
  4. Three-way bands
  5. Combine conditions

Doing it again

  1. Sum 1 to n
  2. Count with a condition
  3. Accumulate by a step
  4. Stop early with return
  5. A loop inside a loop

Slices and reuse

  1. Read one item from a slice
  2. Find the largest in a slice
  3. One function using another
  4. A multi-input formula
  5. Capstone: summarize and classify
