+# Traits
+
+A trait is a collection of methods.
+
+Data types can implement traits. To do so, the methods making up the trait are defined for the data type. For example, the `String` data type implements the `From<&str>` trait. This allows a user to write `String::from("hello")`.
+
+In this way, traits are somewhat similar to Java interfaces and C++ abstract classes.
+
+Some additional common Rust traits include:
+
+- `Clone` (the `clone` method)
+- `Display` (which allows formatted display via `{}`)
+- `Debug` (which allows formatted display via `{:?}`)
+
+Because traits indicate shared behavior between data types, they are useful when writing generics.
+
+## Further information
