rustHow can I use a hashmap as a global variable in Rust?
A global variable in Rust can be implemented using a static
variable. A static
variable is a variable that is stored in the program's read-only memory and is accessible from any part of the program.
A static
variable can be used to store a HashMap
as a global variable. The following example code creates a static
variable GLOBAL_MAP
that stores a HashMap
with a String
key and i32
value:
static GLOBAL_MAP: HashMap<String, i32> = HashMap::new();
Code explanation
static
: A keyword used to declare a static variable.GLOBAL_MAP
: The name of the static variable.HashMap<String, i32>
: The type of the static variable, aHashMap
with aString
key andi32
