rustHow to initialize a Rust slice?

A Rust slice is a data structure that allows access to a contiguous sequence of elements in a collection. It can be initialized with the [T; N] syntax, where T is the type of the elements and N is the number of elements.

Example

let my_slice: [i32; 5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

Output example

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Code explanation

• let: the keyword used to declare a variable
• my_slice: the name of the variable
• [i32; 5]: the type of the variable, which is a slice of i32s with 5 elements
• [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]: the initial value of the variable, which is a literal array of 5 i32s
