rustHow do I clone a string in Rust?


Cloning a string in Rust is a simple process. The clone() method can be used to create a deep copy of a string. The following example code creates a new string from an existing one:

let original_string = String::from("Hello World!");
let cloned_string = original_string.clone();

The clone() method creates a new string with the same contents as the original string. The new string is stored in the cloned_string variable.

Code explanation

  1. let original_string = String::from("Hello World!"); - This line creates a new string with the contents "Hello World!" and stores it in the original_string variable.

  2. let cloned_string = original_string.clone(); - This line creates a deep copy of the original_string and stores it in the cloned_string variable.
