rustHow do I convert a string to bytes in Rust?

To convert a string to bytes in Rust, you can use the as_bytes() method. This method returns a &[u8] which is a slice of bytes.

Example code

let my_string = "Hello World";
let my_bytes = my_string.as_bytes();

Output example

[72, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 87, 111, 114, 108, 100]

Code explanation

• let my_string = "Hello World";: This declares a variable my_string and assigns it the value of the string "Hello World".
• let my_bytes = my_string.as_bytes();: This calls the as_bytes() method on the my_string variable, and assigns the result to the my_bytes variable.
