rustHow to split a Rust slice?

A Rust slice can be split using the split_at() method. This method takes a single argument, which is the index at which the slice should be split. The split_at() method returns a tuple containing two slices, the first slice containing elements up to the index, and the second slice containing elements from the index onwards.

let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let (left, right) = v.split_at(2);

println!("left: {:?}, right: {:?}", left, right);

Output example

left: [1, 2], right: [3, 4, 5]

Code explanation

• let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];: This line creates a Rust slice containing the elements 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
• let (left, right) = v.split_at(2);: This line calls the split_at() method on the v slice, passing in the index 2 as an argument. This will split the slice into two slices, the first containing elements up to the index, and the second containing elements from the index onwards.
• println!("left: {:?}, right: {:?}", left, right);: This line prints out the two slices that were created by the split_at() method.
