Mutating and Borrowing
Explore how Rust manages mutability and borrowing to prevent unexpected value changes. Understand why variables default to immutable, how mutable references work, and the compiler rules that enforce safe access. This lesson helps you grasp key concepts like borrowing restrictions to write more predictable and error-free Rust code.

A lot of problems in software come about from things changing when you don’t expect them to. That’s why Rust defaults to having immutable variables; it’s easier to think about things when they can’t change. This is a pretty big deal in Rust. It means that if I have an immutable value, and I print it twice, I know it will give me the same value. This ...
