Learning Rust

By: Vesa Kaihlavirta

Overview of this book

Rust is a highly concurrent and high performance language that focuses on safety and speed, memory management, and writing clean code. It also guarantees thread safety, and its aim is to improve the performance of existing applications. Its potential is shown by the fact that it has been backed by Mozilla to solve the critical problem of concurrency. Learning Rust will teach you to build concurrent, fast, and robust applications. From learning the basic syntax to writing complex functions, this book will is your one stop guide to get up to speed with the fundamentals of Rust programming. We will cover the essentials of the language, including variables, procedures, output, compiling, installing, and memory handling. You will learn how to write object-oriented code, work with generics, conduct pattern matching, and build macros. You will get to know how to communicate with users and other services, as well as getting to grips with generics, scoping, and more advanced conditions. You will also discover how to extend the compilation unit in Rust. By the end of this book, you will be able to create a complex application in Rust to move forward with.

Project 1 - let's start with some math


Analyzing of data is very important, and knowing how to produce a straight-line relationship is often of great importance. You will need to construct a couple of functions that will work out something known as a linear regression analysis.

Requirements

The following is a brief list of requirements for our project:

  • Data will come from two vectors and will be floating point numbers
  • The answers will only be stored in main and displayed from there
  • The two vectors must have the same number of elements

Supplied data

The data required for this project is in the Chapter 6 folder, Projects/MathsData.txt. The content of the file should be used within the application (copy and paste). If the data sets do not have the same number of elements, remove elements from the end of the set with the larger number of elements.

Let's look at the math required:

  • The equation of a straight line:

The equation is very simple:

y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the intercept on...
