8.18 Closing Thoughts
Functions are at the heart of Rust programming. They allow you to:
- Encapsulate logic
- Reuse code
- Improve readability
- Ensure safety through Rust's ownership and borrowing rules
As you continue your journey in Rust, you'll encounter more advanced features like closures, iterators, and asynchronous functions. The foundational knowledge of functions provided in this chapter will serve you well as you explore these topics.
Remember to:
- Experiment with your own functions to solidify your understanding.
- Leverage Rust's strong type system and ownership rules to write safe and efficient code.
- Refer back to this chapter as needed.
Happy coding!
