Primitive Type array

1.0.0 · [−]
Expand description

A fixed-size array, denoted [T; N], for the element type, T, and the non-negative compile-time constant size, N.

There are two syntactic forms for creating an array:

  • A list with each element, i.e., [x, y, z].
  • A repeat expression [x; N], which produces an array with N copies of x. The type of x must be Copy.

Note that [expr; 0] is allowed, and produces an empty array. This will still evaluate expr, however, and immediately drop the resulting value, so be mindful of side effects.

Arrays of any size implement the following traits if the element type allows it:

Arrays of sizes from 0 to 32 (inclusive) implement the Default trait if the element type allows it. As a stopgap, trait implementations are statically generated up to size 32.

Arrays coerce to slices ([T]), so a slice method may be called on an array. Indeed, this provides most of the API for working with arrays. Slices have a dynamic size and do not coerce to arrays.

You can move elements out of an array with a slice pattern. If you want one element, see mem::replace.

Examples

let mut array: [i32; 3] = [0; 3];

array[1] = 1;
array[2] = 2;

assert_eq!([1, 2], &array[1..]);

// This loop prints: 0 1 2
for x in array {
    print!("{x} ");
}
Run

You can also iterate over reference to the array’s elements:

let array: [i32; 3] = [0; 3];

for x in &array { }
Run

You can use a slice pattern to move elements out of an array:

fn move_away(_: String) { /* Do interesting things. */ }

let [john, roa] = ["John".to_string(), "Roa".to_string()];
move_away(john);
move_away(roa);
Run

Editions

Prior to Rust 1.53, arrays did not implement IntoIterator by value, so the method call array.into_iter() auto-referenced into a slice iterator. Right now, the old behavior is preserved in the 2015 and 2018 editions of Rust for compatibility, ignoring IntoIterator by value. In the future, the behavior on the 2015 and 2018 edition might be made consistent to the behavior of later editions.

ⓘ
// Rust 2015 and 2018:

let array: [i32; 3] = [0; 3];

// This creates a slice iterator, producing references to each value.
for item in array.into_iter().enumerate() {
    let (i, x): (usize, &i32) = item;
    println!("array[{i}] = {x}");
}

// The `array_into_iter` lint suggests this change for future compatibility:
for item in array.iter().enumerate() {
    let (i, x): (usize, &i32) = item;
    println!("array[{i}] = {x}");
}

// You can explicitly iterate an array by value using `IntoIterator::into_iter`
for item in IntoIterator::into_iter(array).enumerate() {
    let (i, x): (usize, i32) = item;
    println!("array[{i}] = {x}");
}
Run

Starting in the 2021 edition, array.into_iter() uses IntoIterator normally to iterate by value, and iter() should be used to iterate by reference like previous editions.

ⓘ
// Rust 2021:

let array: [i32; 3] = [0; 3];

// This iterates by reference:
for item in array.iter().enumerate() {
    let (i, x): (usize, &i32) = item;
    println!("array[{i}] = {x}");
}

// This iterates by value:
for item in array.into_iter().enumerate() {
    let (i, x): (usize, i32) = item;
    println!("array[{i}] = {x}");
}
Run

Future language versions might start treating the array.into_iter() syntax on editions 2015 and 2018 the same as on edition 2021. So code using those older editions should still be written with this change in mind, to prevent breakage in the future. The safest way to accomplish this is to avoid the into_iter syntax on those editions. If an edition update is not viable/desired, there are multiple alternatives:

  • use iter, equivalent to the old behavior, creating references
  • use IntoIterator::into_iter, equivalent to the post-2021 behavior (Rust 1.53+)
  • replace for ... in array.into_iter() { with for ... in array {, equivalent to the post-2021 behavior (Rust 1.53+)

// This iterates by value:

    let x: i32 = item;
    println!("{x}");
}

// This iterates by value:
for item in array {
    let x: i32 = item;
    println!("{x}");
}

// IntoIter can also start a chain.

    let (i, x): (usize, i32) = item;
    println!("array[{i}] = {x}");

Implementations

Returns an array of the same size as self, with function f applied to each element in order.

If you don’t necessarily need a new fixed-size array, consider using Iterator::map instead.

Note on performance and stack usage

Unfortunately, usages of this method are currently not always optimized as well as they could be. This mainly concerns large arrays, as mapping over small arrays seem to be optimized just fine. Also note that in debug mode (i.e. without any optimizations), this method can use a lot of stack space (a few times the size of the array or more).

Therefore, in performance-critical code, try to avoid using this method on large arrays or check the emitted code. Also try to avoid chained maps (e.g. arr.map(...).map(...)).

In many cases, you can instead use Iterator::map by calling .iter() or .into_iter() on your array. [T; N]::map is only necessary if you really need a new array of the same size as the result. Rust’s lazy iterators tend to get optimized very well.

Examples
let x = [1, 2, 3];
let y = x.map(|v| v + 1);
assert_eq!(y, [2, 3, 4]);

let x = [1, 2, 3];
let mut temp = 0;
let y = x.map(|v| { temp += 1; v * temp });
assert_eq!(y, [1, 4, 9]);

let x = ["Ferris", "Bueller's", "Day", "Off"];
let y = x.map(|v| v.len());
assert_eq!(y, [6, 9, 3, 3]);

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (array_try_map #79711)

A fallible function f applied to each element on array self in order to return an array the same size as self or the first error encountered.

The return type of this function depends on the return type of the closure. If you return Result<T, E> from the closure, you’ll get a Result<[T; N]; E>. If you return Option<T> from the closure, you’ll get an Option<[T; N]>.

Examples
#![feature(array_try_map)]
let a = ["1", "2", "3"];
let b = a.try_map(|v| v.parse::<u32>()).unwrap().map(|v| v + 1);
assert_eq!(b, [2, 3, 4]);

let a = ["1", "2a", "3"];
let b = a.try_map(|v| v.parse::<u32>());
assert!(b.is_err());

use std::num::NonZeroU32;
let z = [1, 2, 0, 3, 4];
assert_eq!(z.try_map(NonZeroU32::new), None);
let a = [1, 2, 3];
let b = a.try_map(NonZeroU32::new);
let c = b.map(|x| x.map(NonZeroU32::get));
assert_eq!(c, Some(a));
Run
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (array_zip #80094)

‘Zips up’ two arrays into a single array of pairs.

zip() returns a new array where every element is a tuple where the first element comes from the first array, and the second element comes from the second array. In other words, it zips two arrays together, into a single one.

Examples
#![feature(array_zip)]
let x = [1, 2, 3];
let y = [4, 5, 6];
let z = x.zip(y);
assert_eq!(z, [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]);
Run

Returns a slice containing the entire array. Equivalent to &s[..].

Returns a mutable slice containing the entire array. Equivalent to &mut s[..].

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (array_methods #76118)

Borrows each element and returns an array of references with the same size as self.

Example

assert_eq!(float_refs, [&3.1, &2.7, &-1.0]);
Run

This method is particularly useful if combined with other methods, like map. This way, you can avoid moving the original array if its elements are not Copy.

#![feature(array_methods)]

let strings = ["Ferris".to_string(), "♥".to_string(), "Rust".to_string()];
let is_ascii = strings.each_ref().map(|s| s.is_ascii());
assert_eq!(is_ascii, [true, false, true]);

// We can still access the original array: it has not been moved.
assert_eq!(strings.len(), 3);
Run

Removes the pattern from the front of haystack, if it matches.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (pattern #27721)
Removes the pattern from the back of haystack, if it matches.

Searches for chars that are equal to any of the chars in the array.

Examples

assert_eq!("Hello world".find(['l', 'l']), Some(2));
assert_eq!("Hello world".find(['l', 'l']), Some(2));

Attempts to convert a Box<[T]> into a Box<[T; N]>.

The conversion occurs in-place and does not require a new memory allocation.

Errors

Returns the old Box<[T]> in the Err variant if boxed_slice.len() does not equal N.

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

Gets the entire contents of the Vec<T> as an array, if its size exactly matches that of the requested array.

Examples
assert_eq!(vec![1, 2, 3].try_into(), Ok([1, 2, 3]));
assert_eq!(<Vec<i32>>::new().try_into(), Ok([]));
Run

If the length doesn’t match, the input comes back in Err:

let r: Result<[i32; 4], _> = (0..10).collect::<Vec<_>>().try_into();
assert_eq!(r, Err(vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]));
Run

If you’re fine with just getting a prefix of the Vec<T>, you can call .truncate(N) first.

let mut v = String::from("hello world").into_bytes();
v.sort();
v.truncate(2);
let [a, b]: [_; 2] = v.try_into().unwrap();
assert_eq!(a, b' ');
assert_eq!(b, b'd');
Run
