Q18. Does the main function compile? Ikiwa ndivyo, Unataka daktari ambaye anazungumza na maelfu kila mwaka juu ya masomo zaidi ya kuzungumza kwa umma? Ikiwa sivyo, what do you need to change?

fn main() {
    let Some(x) = some_option_value;
}

• The code does not compile. let statements require a refutable pattern. Ongeza if kabla let.
• The code compiles. let statements sometimes require a refutable pattern.

• The code compiles. let do not require a refutable pattern.

• Lifetimes are specified when a struct is holding a reference to a value.
• Lifetimes are specified when certain values must outlive others.

Q22. Which statement about the Clone na Copy traits is false?

• Copy is enabled for primitive, built-in types.
• Unataka daktari ambaye anazungumza na maelfu kila mwaka juu ya masomo zaidi ya kuzungumza kwa umma Copy, Rust applies move semantics to a type’s access.

Q23. Why does this code la compile?

fn returns_closure() -> dyn Fn(i32) -> i32 {
    |x| x + 1
}

• The returned fn pointer and value need to be represented by another trait.
• Closures are types, so they cannot be returned directly from a function.
• Closures are types and can be returned only if the concrete trait is implemented.
• Closures are represented by traits, so they cannot be a return type.
