Term	Definition	Page	Code
Arc<T>	Atomic reference Counted smart pointer	RustBites_SmartPtrs	playground
Array[T;N]	Indexable array of elements stored in contiguous block	RustBites_DataStr	playground
Assign	Copy blittable data or move non-blittable data stored in a named location	RustBites_Data	DataOperations
Bind	Allocate memory and bind identifier to value stored there	RustBites_Data	DataOperations
Blittable	Data residing in one contiguous block of memory.	RustBites_Data
Borrow	Bind reference to an existing value	RustBites_Data	playground
Box<T>	Smart pointer to value stored in heap	RustBites_SmartPtrs	playground
Clone	Explicity copy of non-blittable type	RustBites_Data	playground
Closure	Function object operating on input parameters and captured local data	RustBites_Functs	playground
Copy	Implicit copy of blittable type	RustBites_Data	playground
Drop	End binding of an identifier to a location, release resources	RustBites_Data RustBites_LifeCycle	playground
Function	Named code block that may accept parameters and return value	RustBites_Functs RustStory_Operations	playground
Generics	Function or struct with type parameter(s)	RustBites_Traits RustStory_Models	playground
Map<K, V>	hashed container of key/value pairs	RustBites_DataStr	playground
Move	Change ownership of a non-blittable value, e.g., bind new name to value	RustBites_Data	playground
Mutate	Alter value stored in a named memory location	RustBites_Data
Mutex<T>	Mutual exclusion primitive for protecting shared data	std::sync::Mutex
Ownership	Owner is identifier bound to a value - Rust allows only one. Responsible for dropping value when going out of scope.	RustBites_Ownrs	playground

String	Iterable collection of utf-8 characters	RustBites_DataStr	playground
Struct{a:T1, b:T1, ...}	Collection of heterogeneous types, accessed by name	RustBites_DataStr	playground
Trait	Constraint on generic parameter, similar to interface. Declares one or more functions that instances of bound types must implement.	RustBites_Traits RustStory_Models	playground
Tuple(T1, T2, ...)	Collection of heterogeneous types, accessed by position	RustBites_DataStr	playground
Vec<T>	Indexable collection of values all of same type	RustBites_DataStr	playground
