IntoIterator
(إلى مكرر)
The Iterator
trait tells you how to iterate once you have created an iterator. The related trait IntoIterator
defines how to create an iterator for a type. It is used automatically by the for
loop.
Speaker Notes
This slide should take about 5 minutes.
Click through to the docs for IntoIterator
. Every implementation of IntoIterator
must declare two types:
Item
: the type to iterate over, such asi8
,IntoIter
: theIterator
type returned by theinto_iter
method.
Note that IntoIter
and Item
are linked: the iterator must have the same Item
type, which means that it returns Option<Item>
The example iterates over all combinations of x and y coordinates.
Try iterating over the grid twice in main
. Why does this fail? Note that IntoIterator::into_iter
takes ownership of self
.
Fix this issue by implementing IntoIterator
for &Grid
and storing a reference to the Grid
in GridIter
.
The same problem can occur for standard library types: for e in some_vector
will take ownership of some_vector
and iterate over owned elements from that vector. Use for e in &some_vector
instead, to iterate over references to elements of some_vector
.
