Rust Programming 2023 - A Comprehensive Course for Beginners - The Stack Versus the Heap in Rust

This video serves as a precursor to understanding ownership in Rust by explaining the differences between stack and heap memory allocation. It covers the characteristics of stack memory, which is fast and efficient, and heap memory, which is slower but allows for more complex data structures. The video also discusses why Rust defaults to stack allocation and the importance of understanding these concepts before moving on to ownership. The video concludes by highlighting Rust's lack of a garbage collector and the need for manual memory management.

In what scenarios might you prefer to use heap allocation over stack allocation?

Discuss the implications of Rust not using a garbage collector.

How does the type system in Rust contribute to memory management?
