Array types
Syntax
ArrayType :
[
Type;
Expression]
An array is a fixed-size sequence of N
elements of type T
. The array type
is written as [T; N]
. The size is a constant expression that evaluates to a
usize
.
Examples:
#![allow(unused)] fn main() { // A stack-allocated array let array: [i32; 3] = [1, 2, 3]; // A heap-allocated array, coerced to a slice let boxed_array: Box<[i32]> = Box::new([1, 2, 3]); }
All elements of arrays are always initialized, and access to an array is always bounds-checked in safe methods and operators.
Note: The
Vec<T>
standard library type provides a heap-allocated resizable array type.
