Primitives

Rust provides access to a wide variety of


primitives . A sample includes:

Scalar Types

signed integers: i8 , i16 , i32 , i64 , i128


and isize (pointer size)
unsigned integers: u8 , u16 , u32 , u64 ,
u128 and usize (pointer size)
floating point: f32 , f64
char Unicode scalar values like 'a' , 'α'
and '∞' (4 bytes each)
bool either true or false
and the unit type () , whose only possible
value is an empty tuple: ()

Despite the value of a unit type being a tuple, it is


not considered a compound type because it does
not contain multiple values.

Compound Types

arrays like [1, 2, 3]


tuples like (1, true)

Variables can always be type annotated. Numbers


may additionally be annotated via a suffix or by
default.

Note that Rust can also infer types from context.

1 fn main() {   
2 // Variables can be type annotated.
3 let logical: bool = true;
4
5 let a_float: f64 = 1.0; // Regular a
6 let an_integer = 5i32; // Suffix an
7
8 // Or a default will be used.
9 let default_float = 3.0; // `f64`
10 let default_integer = 7; // `i32`
11
12 // A type can also be inferred from c
13 let mut inferred_type = 12; // Type i
14 inferred_type = 4294967296i64;
15
16 // A mutable variable's value can be
17 let mut mutable = 12; // Mutable `i32
18 mutable = 21;
19
20 // Error! The type of a variable can'
21 mutable = true;
22
23 // Variables can be overwritten with
24 let mutable = true;
25 }
