Introduction to Rust Book Quizzes

Welcome to the Rust Book Quizzes. Here, you'll find quizzes to test your understanding and summaries to reinforce key concepts for each chapter of the official Rust book. Whether you're new to Rust or seeking deeper insight, this blog series is your guide through the chapters.

How to Use the Quizzes?

Quizzes can be found throughout each chapter. After submitting, you'll see ✅ Correct answer or ❗ Incorrect answer displayed next to the "Submit" button to indicate whether your answers were entirely correct. Also, the correct options will be highlighted in green, and the selected incorrect options will be highlighted in red. Additionally, you can view the solution to each quiz by clicking the "Show solution" button.

Here are some sample quizzes to get you familiar with the interface:

Sample Question 1: True or False

True or False: The Rust programming language is designed for performance and safety.

True

False

Show solution

True. Rust is designed to be a safe and performant systems programming language. It achieves this by enforcing memory safety principles at compile time without the need for a garbage collector.

Sample Question 2: Multiple Choice

What is the output of the following code snippet?

fn main() {
    let x = 1;
    let y = 1;
    let z = x + y;
    println!("{}", z);
}

1

2

3

Does not compile

Show solution

2. The code snippet compiles and outputs 2. The variables x and y are assigned the value 1 and then added together to produce 2.

Sample Question 3: Multiple Choice with Multiple Answers

Which of the following statements are true?

Rust is a statically typed language.

Rust is a dynamically typed language.

Rust is a compiled language.

Rust is an interpreted language.

Show solution

Rust is a statically typed language that is compiled. Statically typed languages require variable types to be known at compile time while dynamically typed languages do not. Compiled languages are translated into machine code before execution while interpreted languages are translated during execution.
