rustHow do I get the address of a variable in Rust?

You can get the address of a variable in Rust using the & operator. For example:

let x = 5;
let address = &x;
println!("The address of x is: {:p}", address);

Output example

The address of x is: 0x7ffd7f9f3fec

The code above consists of the following parts:

1. let x = 5; - This declares a variable x with the value 5.
2. let address = &x; - This declares a variable address and assigns it the address of x using the & operator.
3. println!("The address of x is: {:p}", address); - This prints the address of x using the {:p} format specifier.
