rustHow to get the bytes of a Rust slice?

To get the bytes of a Rust slice, you can use the as_bytes() method. This method returns a &[u8] slice which contains the bytes of the original slice.

Example

let my_slice = [1, 2, 3];
let bytes = my_slice.as_bytes();

Output example

[1, 2, 3]

Code explanation

• let my_slice = [1, 2, 3];: This creates a slice containing the numbers 1, 2, and 3.
• let bytes = my_slice.as_bytes();: This calls the as_bytes() method on the my_slice slice, which returns a &[u8] slice containing the bytes of the original slice.
