Submitted by Nidhi, on September 21, 2021

Problem Solution:

Here, we will create an alias or alternative name of the i32 datatype. Then we will create a variable using an alias name.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to create an alias of built-in data type is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Rust program to create an alias 
// of built-in data type

fn main() {
    type int=i32;
    
    let mut num:int=1024;  
    
    println!("Number: {}",num);
}

Output:

Number: 1024

Explanation:

Here, we created the alias of the i32 data type using the type keyword. Then we created a variable using created alias name and printed the value of the variable.
