Rust workshop

This is a quick demo of the rust language that demonstrates a few differences between C++ and Rust, and includes a function that needs to be translated from C++ to Rust as the meat of the demo.

Branches

• main: Includes the C++ program in it's complete state, but with a memory error that causes undefined behavior. Also includes the Rust program in a state that compiles and has the to-be-done function commented out.

• main-with-bug: Same as main, but this has a version of the Rust program with a Borrow Checker bug. Useful for giving a taste of borrow semantics.

• completed: Contains the completed Rust code with lots of comments.

Usage

requires a C++ compiler, GNU Make, and cargo

• To compile and run the C++ program, use make run.
• To compile and run the Rust program, use cargo run.
