- There can be only one owner of a value | |
- Ownership of a value can be given to something else. When this is done through re-assignment, it is called Move semantics. | |
- However, primitive types like integers that have the Copy trait already implemented for them will be copied when re-assigned. | |
These are called Copy Types. | |
- Passing a value directly to a function gives ownership to that function | |
- Values initialized within a function WILL BE DROPPED AT THE END OF THE FUNCTION except you go out of your way to return it. | |
- A value can be lent to a something else. This is done by passing a reference to the value with the & symbol | |
- When calling a function that returns a value, you might get an owned value or a borrowed value. | |
When you have a borrowed value, it means it is a reference | |
- Cloning a value is frowned upon | |
- Return value of a function is the last expression in the function without semicolon. Very important | |
- println! has to be a macro instead of a function because it has to check its variable number of arguments at compile time | |
