Summary

Chapter Key Takeaways

  • Variables are immutable by default; use mut to allow change.
  • Shadowing (let x = ...) rebinds names and enables type changes.
  • Rust primitives include scalar types (integers, floats, booleans, chars) and compound types (tuples, fixed-size arrays).
  • Rust is expression-oriented: blocks and control flow evaluate directly to values.
