Greetings, coder! Today, we're delving into Rust to master arithmetic and logical operations. This foundation is fundamental for data manipulation and decision-making within the Rust environment.
Rust's primitive data types include i32
for whole numbers, f32
for decimal numbers, bool
for true/false values, and char
for single characters.
You can perform arithmetic operations — such as addition (+
), subtraction (-
), multiplication (*
), division (/
), and modulus (which represents the remainder of the division, %
) — on numerical types. Here's an example:
In many programming languages, including Rust, there's a set of augmented assignment operators which are used as a shorthand method for modifying the value of our variables. These operators are , , , , and . The operator adds the value on its right to the variable on its left and assigns the result to the variable. The other operators work similarly. Let's take a look.
