Watch expert software developers solve interview problems in Rust! 🦀 Interviews for software engineers often come with a coding challenge, using platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank. These challenges ask you to solve coding problems in a language of your choice, to show what algorithms and data structures you know, and highlight how you solve problems. Love them or hate them, being able to solve these kinds of challenges is becoming a part of interviewing for your next job. This series is all about how expert developers try (and possibly fail) to crack these coding problems using Rust, a powerful systems programming language th …...more

Crack code interview problems in Rust - Ep. 2
Watch expert software developers solve interview problems in Rust! 🦀 Interviews for software engineers often come with a coding challenge, using platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank. These challenges ask you to solve coding problems in a language of your choice, to show what algorithms and data structures you know, and highlight how you solve problems. Love them or hate them, being able to solve these kinds of challenges is becoming a part of interviewing for your next job. This series is all about how expert developers try (and possibly fail) to crack these coding problems using Rust, a powerful systems programming language that is rising in popularity, and has been rated as the most loved programming language for the past 7 years in the StackOverflow survey. In this show Jim takes on a classic coding problem - Conway's game of life. Jim is fairly new as a rustlang developer, so he has roped in Ryan Levick to help. Ryan is a seasoned Rust developer and is on the Rust Foundation board, so is able to guide Jim as they try to code how to get the next state in Conway's game of life. 0:00 Intro 1:15 Introducing Ryan Levick 3:27 Does Azure support Rust? 4:50 What's some good Rust books? 6:10 Web assembly is best in Rust 8:29 Today's problem - Conway's game of life in Rust 12:08 What is the name of the Rust crab logo 🦀 13:20 Visual Studio Code live share - just hope Ryan doesn't run rm -rf 🙀 15:14 Set up a Rust unit test project 16:57 Working through our first Conway's game of life example 18:27 2 dimensional vectors in Rust 23:40 Casing standards in Rust 25:04 Scoping functions in Rust unit tests 25:40 Rust only has statements for variable bindings 26:25 Should you use Rust for interview algorithm questions? 32:50 Functions in Rust that never return 34:20 Type safety with Rust collections 37:50 cargo expand to expand Rust macros 40:55 Rust analyzer inferring types 41:45 Back on the problem! 45:10 Move and borrow in Rust 47:00 Equal semantics in Rust for vectors 50:20 The todo macro 52:50 More borrow semantics 57:12 Rust's warnings on code not being used Find all the code at https://github.com/jimbobbennett/crac...
