Practical Rust Learning

This repository contains a Rust script designed to help students understand the basics of Rust practically. The script demonstrates various advanced Rust features, including ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, traits, generics, and concurrency.

Features

1. Traits and Implementations:

   • Summarizable trait with a method summary.
   • Book and Article structs implementing the Summarizable trait.

2. Generics:

   • print_summary is a generic function that works with any type implementing Summarizable.

3. Ownership and Borrowing:

   • Demonstrated in the ownership_and_borrowing function.
   • Shows how ownership is moved and how borrowing works.

4. Concurrency:

   • Demonstrated in the concurrency_example function.
   • Uses Arc (Atomic Reference Counting) and Mutex for thread-safe shared state.
   • Spawns multiple threads to modify a shared HashMap.

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Practical.git
   cd Practical

2. Build and run the project:
