rustHow to return borrow in Rust
Returning a borrow in Rust is a process of returning ownership of a borrowed value back to its original owner. This is done by using the return
keyword.
Example:
fn main() {
let mut x = 5;
let y = &mut x;
*y += 1;
println!("x = {}", x);
return y;
}
Output example
x = 6
The code above borrows the value of x
and stores it in y
. The value of x
is then incremented by 1. After that, the ownership of y
is returned to its original owner, x
.
Code explanation
let mut x = 5;
: Declares a mutable variablex
with an initial value of 5.let y = &mut x;
: Borrows the value ofx
and stores it iny
.*y += 1;
: Increments the value ofy
by 1.return y;
: Returns the ownership ofy
back to its original owner,x
.
