Rust’s module system is just about organizing your code into logical, reusable pieces. Think of it like organizing a messy toolbox, sockets in one drawer, wrenches in another, and screwdrivers neatly arranged.

Without modules, your growing codebase can becomes a chaotic mess and often youll need to separate functions.
