Rust program to pass an array into the function using call by value mechanism

Rust | Array Example: Write a program to pass an array into the function using the call by value mechanism.
Submitted by Nidhi, on October 19, 2021

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will create an integer array with 5 values. Then we will pass created array into a user-defined function using the call by value mechanism.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to pass an array into a function using the call by value mechanism is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Rust program to pass an array into function 
// using the call by value mechanism

fn ModifyArray(mut intArr:[i32;5]){
   for i in 0..5 {
      intArr[i] = 10;
   }
   println!("Array elements inside ModifyArray() function:\n{:?}",intArr);
}

fn main() {
   let intArr:[i32;5] = [1,2,3,4,5];
   
   ModifyArray(intArr);

   println!("Array elements inside main() function:\n{:?}",intArr);
}

Output:

Array elements inside ModifyArray() function:
[10, 10, 10, 10, 10]
Array elements inside main() function:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Explanation:

In the above program, we created two functions ModifyArray() and main(). The ModifyArray() is a user-defined function, it accepts an array as a call by value. Here we modified the elements of the array but modification will not reflect in the calling function.

In the main() function, we created an array intArr with 5 integer values. Then we passed created array in the ModifyArray() function and then printed the array elements.
