What am I doing wrong with the variable i below? Why does the compiler say I cannot index a Vec with a u32 and how do I fix it?
fn main() {
let a: Vec = vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
let number: u32 = 4;
let mut count = 0;
for i in…

Checking a Vec to see if it's all zero?
I have many 4KiB buffers, which have a 50% chance of containing only zero values. The non-zero buffers will typically have a non-zero byte early in the buffer.
fn is_zero(buf: &Vec) -> bool {
for byte in buf.into_iter() {
if *byte…

How can I retain vector elements with their original index?
If I have a Vec I can iterate over elements using an index via v.iter().enumerate(), and I can remove elements via v.retain(). Is there a way to do both at once?
In this case the index could no longer be used to access the element - it would be the…

Why can I initialize but not assign a &vec![]?
What is the difference between assign after binding to var and direct assign a &Vec.
let mut v2 = &vec![1,2,3];
let tv = &vec![2,3,4];
v2 = tv;
// different from
// v2 = &vec![2, 3, 4]; // uncomment this will error

Is Vec::splice() efficient when the length doesn't change?
When you use Vec::splice() to replace part of a Vec, is it smart enough to specially handle the case where the replacement is the same length as the chunk it is replacing, or should I handle that myself?
Is there any point doing this, or is…

Rustlings Exercise Traits2, Implement Trait on Vec
The exercise requires me to Implement the trait to Vec. The tests are there and they are failing, which is a good place to start. I've done the trait implementation for the String and it was easy, Vec is another story. I'm not sure what the method…

Why can't you convert containers using .into() if the elements can be converted?
If I have a Vec I can't convert it into Vec directly using .into() even if I can convert T into U using .into(). For example this code does not compile:
use std::convert::From;
struct A {
x: i32,
}
struct B {
y: u64,
}
impl From…

Builtin for checking if vec contains specified element
Let's say, I have a vec containing a list of integers that may be non-continuous (due to element being removed from database).
Example:
$occupiedNumbers = vec[1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16];
Now what I need is to check if this vec…

Is it better to return an Option of a Vec, or just a Vec?
Suppose I am writing a function that takes a bunch of string and filters out the "bad" ones.
The function then returns some strings, but there is a chance that all the strings are filtered out.
So I am wondering, should I use to Option here? I could…

Difficulty in trying to implement a type-safe `at` for length-indexed vectors
I have just learnt about the DataKinds extension, type-level literals, and found out that type-levels natural numbers can be compared using constraints provided in the Data.Type.Ord such as (>), and manipulated using type-level operations provided…
