The Rust programming language is consistent and does its best to avoid surprising the programmer. Like all languages, though, Rust still has its quirks. But these quirks present a teaching opportunity. In this book, you'll work through a series of brain teasers that will challenge your understanding of Rust. By understanding the gaps in your knowledge, you can become better at what you do and avoid mistakes. Many of the teasers in this book come from the author's own experience creating software. Others derive from commonly asked questions in the Rust community. Regardless of their origin, these brain teasers are fun, and let's face it: who doesn't love a good puzzle, right? What better way to exercise your brain and increase your Rust programming knowledge than with a collection of dynamic brain teasers? As you read through each of these puzzles and try to work out the answers, you'll not only learn about Rust's unique quirks and peculiarities, you'll also have loads of fun along the way. Dive right in and get started with example code and sample problems that cover numbers and text, shadowing and memory, and everything in between. Try to figure out why a particular program won't compile, why it produces unexpected output, or why it panics and terminates with an error message. Once you've run the code and read the answer, it's time to get to the heart of the matter with a detailed explanation. Learn why a program produced the result it did, and discover how similar issues might affect the code you write in your own programs, even in production. Sourced from engaging discussions within the Rust community, real-world problems, and even reader feedback, these challenges will certainly surprise, enlighten, and entertain you. Are you ready to experience Rust like never before? Then sharpen your brain and get ready for a challenge! What You Need: This book assumes you have some knowledge of the Rust programming language. To work through the brain teasers in this book, you'll need a working Rust environment on any platform. You can install Rust by visiting https://rustup.rs/. You'll also need a text editor or Rust-friendly IDE.

To succeed in life, you must 'think outside the box'. This cliché is used to describe creative, non-standard approaches to problem solving. But how does one learn to 'think outside the box'? Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. Author Kiran Srinivas believes that you can significantly improve your thinking abilities, and this book will force you to think in ways you never have before. By sheer practice, you can increase your ability to think creatively. Many of the puzzles in this book will take hours, if not days, to solve, but be encouraged, a middle-school education is sufficient to answer almost all of the puzzles. There are many interview puzzles, and if you plan to interview at an investment bank, consulting firm, high-tech firm, or in any other related field, absorb what 'Brain Teasers' has to offer, as it can be the deciding factor in getting that offer.

The King James Version of the Bible was used while writing this book. Therefore, when you are trying to solve some of the bogglers in this book, the King James Version would more than likely be of more help than other versions. One of the great blessings of todays technology is our ability to have the Bible at our fingertips at all times. My wife and I have two cell phones, two iPads, two computers, and they all have the Bible downloaded on them. No matter where we are, the Bible is in close proximity to us. Therefore, this book can be enjoyed almost anywhere you might be. It is my hope that this book will encourage you to spend more time in the Bible, even if it is through the use of an electronic device on which you have downloaded the Bible. Thus, the main purpose of this book is fourfold: To persuade you to spend more time reading and pondering the contents of the Bible. To provide you with some entertainment and knowledge that will be of eternal value to you. To bring to your remembrance those sacred truths taught by the Savior, his prophets and apostles, which will spiritually lift you. To provide an enjoyable alternative to TV, video games, and other entertainment.
