Rust program to demonstrate the 'from' trait

Rust Example: Write a program to demonstrate the "from" trait.
Submitted by Nidhi, on November 27, 2021

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will demonstrate the "from" trait. The "from" trait is used to create a variable from another type of variable.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to demonstrate the "from" trait is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Rust program to demonstrate the "from" trait

fn TypeOf<T>(_: &T) {
    println!("{}", std::any::type_name::<T>())
}

fn main() 
{
    let strVar = "hello world";
    let stringVar = String::from(strVar);

    print!("{}, Type: ",strVar);
    TypeOf(&strVar); 
    
    print!("{}, Type: ",stringVar);
    TypeOf(&stringVar); 
}

Output:

hello world, Type: &str
hello world, Type: alloc::string::String

Explanation:

Here, we created a variable strVar of &str type. Then we created another variable stringVar using the "from" trait using the existing variable strVar. After that, we printed the value of variables and their data type.
