Rust is a powerful systems programming language known for its performance and safety features. If you’re diving into Rust, understanding its fundamental data types and operations is essential. To make learning these concepts more engaging, I've created an interactive Rust Learning Game that combines education with a fun, hands-on experience.

What is the Rust Learning Game?

The Rust Learning Game is an interactive command-line program designed to teach Rust's core data types and operations. The game provides a menu of options, each showcasing different Rust features through examples and explanations. It’s an excellent tool for both beginners and experienced developers looking to brush up on Rust.

Key Features

Integer Operations: Learn about basic arithmetic, type casting, and bitwise operations with interactive examples.
Floating-Point Operations: Explore arithmetic operations, mathematical functions, and special floating-point values.
Boolean Operations: Understand logical operations and boolean algebra in Rust.
Character Operations: Discover operations on char values and their properties.
String Operations: Experiment with string manipulation, formatting, and slicing.
Collections: Work with vectors, hash maps, and hash sets to understand Rust's collection types.
Option and Result: Learn about handling optional values and error handling with Option and Result.

How to Run the Game

To get started with the Rust Learning Game, you’ll need to have Rust installed on your machine. If Rust is not installed, you can download it from the Rust official website.

Steps to Run
1.Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/devyuvraj4/data-type-in-rust.git

2.Navigate to the Project Directory:

cd rust-learning-game

3.Build and Run the Project:

cargo run

Follow the Interactive Prompts to explore different Rust concepts.

How It Works

The game presents a menu with several options. By selecting a number corresponding to a topic, users can view interactive examples demonstrating various Rust features. Each section provides code examples and explanations to help you understand how Rust handles different data types and operations.

Example Interaction

When you choose "Integer Operations," the game displays output like this:

--- Integer Operations ---
Variables: a = 10, b = 5
Sum: a + b = 15
Difference: a - b = 5
Product: a * b = 50
Quotient: a / b = 2
Remainder: a % b = 0
Converted x from i32 to u64: x as u64 = 42
Bitwise AND: c & d = 240
Bitwise OR: c | d = 255
Bitwise XOR: c ^ d = 15
Bitwise NOT: !c = 240
Checked addition result: x.checked_add(10) = Some(52)
