rustHow do I convert a string to a str in Rust?

To convert a string to a str in Rust, you can use the to_string() method. This method will convert a string to a str type.

Example

let my_string = "Hello World!";
let my_str = my_string.to_string();
println!("{}", my_str);

Output example

Hello World!

The to_string() method takes a string as an argument and returns a str type. The str type is a string type that is immutable and can be used for various operations.

Code explanation

• let my_string = "Hello World!";: This line declares a variable my_string and assigns it the value of a string literal.
• let my_str = my_string.to_string();: This line calls the to_string() method on the my_string variable and assigns the result to the my_str variable.
• println!("{}", my_str);: This line prints the value of the my_str variable to the console.
