Module 2: Memory Management

Core Module

Learning Objectives

  • Understand Rust's ownership system and its rules
  • Learn how to use references and borrowing
  • Master Rust's approach to memory safety without garbage collection
  • Work with different data types and understand their memory characteristics

This module covers Rust's unique approach to memory management through ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. You'll learn how Rust ensures memory safety at compile time without needing a garbage collector.

Topics Covered

  • Memory Concepts
  • Ownership
  • Borrowing
  • Slices

Exercises
