Going through some exercises on basic Rust syntax and ownership.

These videos are roughly on track with the Reading Club apparently, so this video belongs here this week, I think.

    Shouldn’t we be able to do something like

    let bar : [f32; 5] = [Default::default(); 5];
    

    ?

    I’m on mobile and too lazy to try whipping up a rust playground example to test this out myself.

      I’ll do you one better!

      let foo: [u8; 10] = Default::default();
      

      (pretty sure the above only works reliably after they finally were able to derive traits on n-sized arrays but that’s been in for a while now)

      And as you suggested:

      let foo: [u8; 10] = [Default::default(); 10];
