Rust 101 – 8: Writing methods using impl blocks
Share on Mastodon
This time we discuss how to add methods to structs and enums, using impl blocks. Methods work similarly to other languages, but it might be a surprise that they can be defined inside separate blocks, and in fact they can be defined in multiple different blocks, which can be useful, and can also be a potential cause of confusion!
