Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

trait

A named set of abilities a type can have, like Debug or Clone.

A trait defines methods types can implement; it is taught fully in the traits chapter.

Examples

  • Printing a struct with {:?} fails with E0277 until it implements the Debug trait, for example through #[derive(Debug)].
