Oddbean new post about login | logout Rust types be like: `value: (u8, &'a mut [u8])` #devstr Real code. and I understand what it says but have no idea where it's used yet.
it’s real code but not good practice to write code like that
Why?
u would have to do value.0 to access the first element and value.1 to access the second element. that doesn’t really tell you anything. much better would be:
struct KeyWithPayload<'a> {
key: u8,
payload: &'a [u8],
}
value: KeyWithPayload
now you can do value.key to know you’re accessing the “key” and value.payload to access the “payload”. much easier to work with as a human dev That's way more readable.
