An In-Depth Guide to Data Types in Rust

Hello Codes! 👋🐍 Welcome back to our exploration of Rust. In our previous blog, we deep dived into Rust’s data types, and now it’s time to roll up our sleeves and get hands on with the language’s core syntax, will also compare it with Python syntax. No frills, just practical insights to make your transition smoother. 🚀🦀
