This article summaries all the concepts that we learnt under Collections, i.e. Tuples, Structs, Array and their representation in Memory.
In Rust, only Arrays can be iterated over as Rust has the confidence that all the elements inside of an array are of same type. Tuples and Structs cannot be iterated over as they can be composed of different types of data. Array gives you an iterable object using .iter() method which can be used to iterate over. The syntax of iteration is quite similar to other languages barring the fact that it does not have extra parenthesis around the looping expressions, for e.g. for year in years.iter().
There are 2 kinds of tuples. A tuple is usually a collection of 2 or more values. for example (i32, i32) for (10, 20) is a tuple. There is also a empty/blank tuple which usually refers to something similar like void in other programming languages.
Structs on the other hand are like a mixture of interface and a class from TypeScript. When declaring a struct in Rust you need to explicitly mention the name of the Struct before declaring the value. for e.g. Point {x: 1, y: 2, z: 3} is a struct of type Point.
Structs are label based, i.e. Point.x, Point.y, Point.z, where as Tuples and Arrays are index/position based Point.0, Point.1, Point.2.
