rustHow to convert a slice of bytes to a string in Rust?

To convert a slice of bytes to a string in Rust, you can use the std::str::from_utf8 function. This function takes a slice of bytes and returns a Result<&str, Utf8Error>.

Example code

let bytes = [104, 101, 108, 108, 111];
let string = std::str::from_utf8(&bytes).unwrap();

Output example

hello

The code above does the following:

1. let bytes = [104, 101, 108, 108, 111]; - creates a byte array containing the ASCII codes for the characters h, e, l, l, and o.
2. let string = std::str::from_utf8(&bytes).unwrap(); - calls the std::str::from_utf8 function with the byte array as an argument, and assigns the result to the string variable. The unwrap method is used to convert the Result into a &str.
