Rust structs are similar to tuples, in that both hold multiple related values. Like tuples, the pieces of a struct can be different types. Unlike with tuples, in a struct you’ll name each piece of data so it’s clear what the values mean. Adding these names means that structs are more flexible than tuples: you don’t have to rely on the order of the data to specify or access the values of an instance.
#[derive(Debug)]
struct Rectangle {
width: u32,
height: u32,
}
impl Rectangle {
fn area(&self) -> u32 {
self.width * self.height
}
}
fn main() {
let rect1 = Rectangle {
width: 30,
height: 50,
};
println!(
"The area of the rectangle is {} square pixels.",
rect1.area()
);
}
The area of the rectangle is 1500 square pixels.
