AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

Rust is installed with rustup, which manages toolchains (stable, beta, nightly). Cargo is the build tool and package manager: `cargo new` scaffolds a project, `cargo build` compiles, `cargo run` builds and runs, and `cargo test` runs tests. Dependencies are declared in Cargo.toml and locked in Cargo.lock.

How to study this topic

  1. 1. Read the explanation once end to end, skipping the code.
  2. 2. Re-read the code snippets and say out loud what each line does.
  3. 3. Answer the quiz without scrolling back — that is the real check.
  4. 4. Read every explanation, even for the answers you got right.
