### Collections
|
||||
|
||||
Rust’s standard library includes a number of very useful data
|
||||
structures called collections. Most other data types represent one
|
||||
specific value, but collections can contain multiple values. Unlike
|
||||
the built-in array and tuple types, the data these collections point
|
||||
to is stored on the heap, which means the amount of data does not need
|
||||
to be known at compile time and can grow or shrink as the program
|
||||
runs.
|
||||
|
||||
This exercise will get you familiar with two fundamental data
|
||||
structures that are used very often in Rust programs:
|
||||
|
||||
* A *vector* allows you to store a variable number of values next to
|
||||
each other.
|
||||
* A *hash map* allows you to associate a value with a particular key.
|
||||
You may also know this by the names *map* in C++, *dictionary* in
|
||||
Python or an *associative array* in other languages.
