Rust Programming Master Class from Beginner to Expert - Implementing Stack

This tutorial introduces the concept of stacks, a fundamental data structure in programming, and explains its operations, such as push and pop, using real-world analogies. It then guides the viewer through implementing a stack in Rust, focusing on using vectors and functions. The tutorial includes a user-interactive program that allows for stack operations via a menu-driven interface. Finally, it tests the program and concludes with a discussion on more advanced implementations.

What is the primary characteristic of a stack data structure?

• First In First Out

• Random Access

• Last In First Out

• Sequential Access

Which operation is used to add an element to the top of a stack?

• Insert

• Pop

• Push

• Append

In the stack visualization, what happens when a pop operation is performed?

• The stack is cleared

• A new element is added

• The top element is removed

• The bottom element is removed

What is the purpose of using vectors in the Rust stack implementation?

• To ensure fixed size

• To simplify syntax

• To allow dynamic resizing

• To enable random access

Which function in Rust is used to create a vector with a specified capacity?

• new()

• with_capacity()

• reserve()

• allocate()

What is the role of the 'match' statement in the user interface for stack operations?

• To iterate over elements

• To handle user input

• To declare variables

• To perform conditional operations

How does the program ensure that no more elements are added once the stack is full?

• By throwing an error

• By using a fixed array

• By checking the stack's length

• By using a loop

What happens when the user tries to pop an element from an empty stack?

• The program crashes

• The last element is returned

• A 'none' value is returned

• An error is thrown

Which advanced concept is mentioned for future stack implementations in Rust?

• Inheritance

• Pointers

• Generics

• Recursion

What is the main objective of the stack implementation tutorial?

• To build a complete application

• To practice basic Rust concepts

• To understand memory management

• To learn advanced Rust features
