Rust HashSet
In Rust, a HashSet
is a collection of unique values stored in a hash table data structure. HashSet
s provide a way to quickly check if a value is present in the set or not.
Here's an example of how to create and use a HashSet
in Rust:
use std::collections::HashSet; fn main() { // create a new HashSet of integers let mut numbers = HashSet::new(); // add some numbers to the HashSet numbers.insert(1); numbers.insert(2); numbers.insert(3); // check if a value is present in the HashSet if numbers.contains(&2) { println!("2 is present in the HashSet"); } // remove a value from the HashSet numbers.remove(&3); // iterate over the values in the HashSet for number in &numbers { println!("{}", number); } }
In this example, we're creating a new HashSet
called numbers
using the HashSet::new
constructor. We're then inserting three integers into the HashSet
using the insert
method.
We're using the contains
method to check if the value 2 is present in the HashSet
and printing a message to the console if it is. We're also using the remove
method to remove the value 3 from the HashSet
.
Finally, we're iterating over the remaining values in the HashSet
using a for
loop and printing each value to the console using the println!
macro.
HashSet
s in Rust provide a fast and efficient way to store and look up unique values, making them useful in a wide range of applications. Rust also provides a HashSet::with_capacity
method for pre-allocating space for a HashSet
if you know how many values it will contain.
