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 [*unordered map* in C++](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/unordered_map), - [*dictionary* in Python](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#dictionaries) or an *associative array* in other languages. - -## Further information - -- [Storing Lists of Values with Vectors](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch08-01-vectors.html) -- [Storing Keys with Associated Values in Hash Maps](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch08-03-hash-maps.html) |
