only.Expand description
Mutable slice iterator.
This struct is created by the iter_mut
method on slices.
§Examples
Basic usage:
// First, we declare a type which has `iter_mut` method to get the `IterMut`
// struct (`&[usize]` here):
let mut slice = &mut [1, 2, 3];
// Then, we iterate over it and increment each element value:
for element in slice.iter_mut() {
*element += 1;
}
// We now have "[2, 3, 4]":
println!("{slice:?}");

1.4.0 · Sourcepub fn into_slice(self) -> &'a mut [T]
pub fn into_slice(self) -> &'a mut [T]
Views the underlying data as a subslice of the original data.
To avoid creating &mut
references that alias, this is forced
to consume the iterator.
§Examples
Basic usage:
// First, we declare a type which has `iter_mut` method to get the `IterMut`
// struct (`&[usize]` here):
let mut slice = &mut [1, 2, 3];
{
// Then, we get the iterator:
let mut iter = slice.iter_mut();
// We move to next element:
iter.next();
// So if we print what `into_slice` method returns here, we have "[2, 3]":
println!("{:?}", iter.into_slice());
}
// Now let's modify a value of the slice:
{
// First we get back the iterator:
let mut iter = slice.iter_mut();
// We change the value of the first element of the slice returned by the `next` method:
*iter.next().unwrap() += 1;
}
// Now slice is "[2, 2, 3]":
println!("{slice:?}");
1.53.0 · Sourcepub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]
pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]
Views the underlying data as a subslice of the original data.
To avoid creating &mut [T]
references that alias, the returned slice
borrows its lifetime from the iterator the method is applied on.
§Examples
Basic usage:
let mut slice: &mut [usize] = &mut [1, 2, 3];
// First, we get the iterator:
let mut iter = slice.iter_mut();
// So if we check what the `as_slice` method returns here, we have "[1, 2, 3]":
assert_eq!(iter.as_slice(), &[1, 2, 3]);
// Next, we move to the second element of the slice:
iter.next();
// Now `as_slice` returns "[2, 3]":
assert_eq!(iter.as_slice(), &[2, 3]);

Basic usage:
#![feature(slice_iter_mut_as_mut_slice)]
let mut slice: &mut [usize] = &mut [1, 2, 3];
// First, we get the iterator:
