rustUsing Rust box in struct

Rust box in struct is a way to store data in a struct. It allows for the storage of any type of data, including references, in a single struct. This is useful for when you need to store multiple types of data in a single struct.

Example code:

struct MyStruct {
    data: Box<dyn Any>,
}

fn main() {
    let my_struct = MyStruct {
        data: Box::new(42),
    };
}

Output:

MyStruct { data: Box(42) }

Code parts with detailed explanation:

• struct MyStruct: This is the struct that will contain the data.
• data: Box<dyn Any>: This is the field that will store the data. The Box type is used to store the data in the struct. The dyn Any type is used to allow for any type of data to be stored in the struct.
• Box::new(42): This is the data that will be stored in the struct. In this example, the data is an integer with the value of 42.
