Thanks for all the information you provided. I will read Rust by Example and stop posting in this thread to avoid deviating from the OP. Anyway, perhaps other readers are learning Rust and having the same questions in their minds, so your answers are also welcome for them.

Edited: I will eliminate my catfacts username (changing passsord to a random one), I don't like being downvoted and I know I should not mention it, but things are what they are. Good bye catfacts !.
