Structs, enums e traits

Rust Methods and impl Blocks

Attach behavior to a struct: methods with &self, changes with &mut self and constructors like new.

Functions that belong to a type

An impl block holds the functions that belong to a type. A method takes self as its first parameter and is called with a dot. A function without self, such as new, is called with the type name and ::.

&self borrows the rectangle for reading and &mut self borrows it for changing, which is why rect must be mut to call scale. Self is a short name for the type of the impl block. new and square are associated functions used as constructors.

Pontos-chave

  1. &self reads the value.
  2. &mut self changes it.
  3. Rectangle::new has no self: it is a constructor.

        self.width *= factor;
        self.height *= factor;

    println!("square: {}", Rectangle::square(5.0).area());

Pratique

Abra o exemplo no compilador online, mude um valor ou adicione uma linha e tente prever a saída antes de executar. Depois quebre o código de propósito e leia a mensagem do compilador.
