Ownership is one of Rust’s core features that enables memory safety without a garbage collector. It ensures efficient memory management and prevents issues like dangling pointers, double frees, and data races at compile time.
Key Ownership Rules
Each value in Rust has a single owner.
When the owner goes out of scope, the value is dropped (deallocated).
A value can only have one mutable reference or multiple immutable references at a time.
Why Ownership Matters
Prevents memory leaks: Memory is automatically freed when a value goes out of scope.
Eliminates null references and dangling pointers.
Ensures thread safety: Rust prevents data races at compile time.
No need for garbage collection.
