rustHow to return box in Rust

Returning a box in Rust is a way to move a value out of a scope without consuming it. This is done by using the Box::into_raw method.

let x = Box::new(5);
let raw = Box::into_raw(x);

The code above creates a new box containing the value 5 and then moves it out of the scope using Box::into_raw. The raw variable now holds a pointer to the box.

• Box::new(5) creates a new box containing the value 5.
• Box::into_raw(x) moves the box out of the scope and returns a pointer to it.
