Understanding Slices in Rust — Ownership Series

Description

In this lesson, we explore slices in Rust — lightweight references to parts of data. Slices let you look at a section of a collection without taking ownership or making a copy. You’ll learn: What slices are (&[T] and &str) How they differ from arrays and vectors Why slices are always references How slicing works under the hood How Rust enforces safety with slice bounds Slices are one of Rust’s most elegant ideas — they combine flexibility, efficiency, and safety in a single abstraction. #Rust #RustLang #Ownership #Borrowing #MemorySafety #SystemsProgramming #RustSlices #maths #programming #injectflow #education
