01Variables and mutabilityRust bindings are immutable by default, so mut, shadowing and const keep change deliberate. Challenge 12 min 02Functions and control flowWrite functions, tell statements from expressions, and branch or loop with if, while, for and ranges. Challenge 13 min 03Slices and stringsA String owns its data while a &str borrows it; slices are views into a sequence and must respect UTF-8 boundaries. Challenge 14 min 04Traits and genericsTraits define shared behaviour, and generics let one function work across many types with bounds keeping them safe. Challenge 14 min 05Error handling patternsUse Option and Result for recoverable outcomes, propagate with ?, and reserve panic for unrecoverable bugs. Challenge 14 min 06Ownership and borrowingEvery value has one owner; references let you borrow without taking ownership. Challenge 15 min 07Structs, enums and matchingEnums model alternatives; match forces you to handle every one. Challenge 14 min 08Result, Option and the ? operatorExpected failures are values, not exceptions. Challenge 14 min 09Collections and iteratorsVec and HashMap cover common storage; iterators express transformations lazily. Challenge 14 min 10Concurrency and a useful CLIRust’s type system carries into threads and command-line tools. Challenge 15 min
