Rust Programming Master Class from Beginner to Expert - Generics

This tutorial covers the concept of generics in programming, explaining how they allow for writing flexible and reusable code by deferring type specification. It begins with a motivation for using generics, followed by examples of implementing functions without them, leading to code duplication. The tutorial then introduces generics in functions and structures, demonstrating how they minimize code duplication and enhance code readability. The session concludes with a surprise revelation that generics have been used in vectors throughout the course.

Explain how generics can help minimize code duplication.

What is the significance of the output type in a generic function?

What are the traits that need to be mentioned for a generic type T?

How does the Rust compiler handle different types for generic fields in a structure?
