Rust Best Practices Summary

// Bad: Can panic
let value = some_option.unwrap();

// Good: Handle the None case
let value = some_option.unwrap_or(default_value);
let value = some_option.unwrap_or_else(|| expensive_computation());
let value = some_option.unwrap_or_default(); // Uses Default trait

// For Result<T, E>
let value = some_result.unwrap_or(fallback_value);
let value = some_result.unwrap_or_else(|err| {
    eprintln!("Error occurred: {err}");
    default_value
});

let config = std::env::var("CONFIG_PATH")
    .expect("CONFIG_PATH environment variable must be set");

use thiserror::Error;

#[derive(Error, Debug)]
pub enum MyError {
    #[error("IO error: {0}")]
    Io(#[from] std::io::Error),
    
    #[error("Parse error: {message}")]
    Parse { message: String },
    
    #[error("Value {value} is out of range")]
    OutOfRange { value: i32 },
}

let numbers = vec![1, 2, 3];
let first = numbers.get(0).unwrap(); // Safe: we just created the vec with elements

// Better: Use expect() with explanation
let first = numbers.get(0).expect("numbers vec is non-empty by construction");

use std::fmt;

#[derive(Debug)]  // Automatic implementation for debugging
struct Person {
    name: String,
    age: u32,
}

// Manual Display implementation for user-facing output
impl fmt::Display for Person {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        write!(f, "{} (age {})", self.name, self.age)
    }
}

// Usage:
let person = Person { name: "Alice".to_string(), age: 30 };
println!("{:?}", person);  // Debug: Person { name: "Alice", age: 30 }
println!("{}", person);    // Display: Alice (age 30)

// Copy: Implicit duplication for small, simple types
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy)]
struct Point {
    x: i32,
    y: i32,
}

// Clone: Explicit duplication for complex types
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
struct Person {
    name: String,  // String doesn't implement Copy
    age: u32,
}

let p1 = Point { x: 1, y: 2 };

let person1 = Person { name: "Bob".to_string(), age: 25 };
let person2 = person1.clone();  // Clone (explicit)

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
struct UserId(u64);

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
struct Temperature {

}

let id1 = UserId(123);
let id2 = UserId(123);
assert_eq!(id1, id2);  // Works because of PartialEq

let temp1 = Temperature { celsius: 20.0 };
let temp2 = Temperature { celsius: 20.0 };
assert_eq!(temp1, temp2);  // Works with PartialEq

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
struct Priority(u8);

let high = Priority(1);
let low = Priority(10);
assert!(high < low);  // Lower numbers = higher priority

// Use in collections
let mut priorities = vec![Priority(5), Priority(1), Priority(8)];
priorities.sort();  // Works because Priority implements Ord

#[derive(Debug, Default)]
struct Config {
    debug: bool,           // false (default)

impl From<String> for UserName {

    }
}

impl From<&str> for UserName {
    fn from(name: &str) -> Self {
        UserName(name.to_string())
    }
}

// Usage:
let user_id: UserId = 123u64.into();         // Using Into
let user_id = UserId::from(123u64);          // Using From
let username = UserName::from("alice");      // &str -> UserName
let username: UserName = "bob".into();       // Using Into

        } else {
