string.rs

1//! A UTF-8โ€“encoded, growable string.
2//!
3//! This module contains the [`String`] type, the [`ToString`] trait for
4//! converting to strings, and several error types that may result from
5//! working with [`String`]s.
6//!
7//! # Examples
8//!
9//! There are multiple ways to create a new [`String`] from a string literal:
10//!
11//! ```
12//! let s = "Hello".to_string();
13//!
14//! let s = String::from("world");
15//! let s: String = "also this".into();
16//! ```
17//!
18//! You can create a new [`String`] from an existing one by concatenating with
19//! `+`:
20//!
21//! ```
22//! let s = "Hello".to_string();
23//!
24//! let message = s + " world!";
25//! ```
26//!
27//! If you have a vector of valid UTF-8 bytes, you can make a [`String`] out of
28//! it. You can do the reverse too.
29//!
30//! ```
31//! let sparkle_heart = vec![240, 159, 146, 150];
32//!
33//! // We know these bytes are valid, so we'll use `unwrap()`.
34//! let sparkle_heart = String::from_utf8(sparkle_heart).unwrap();
35//!
36//! assert_eq!("๐Ÿ’–", sparkle_heart);
37//!
38//! let bytes = sparkle_heart.into_bytes();
39//!
40//! assert_eq!(bytes, [240, 159, 146, 150]);
41//! ```

70/// A UTF-8โ€“encoded, growable string.
71///
72/// `String` is the most common string type. It has ownership over the contents
73/// of the string, stored in a heap-allocated buffer (see [Representation](#representation)).
74/// It is closely related to its borrowed counterpart, the primitive [`str`].
75///
76/// # Examples
77///
78/// You can create a `String` from [a literal string][`&str`] with [`String::from`]:
79///
80/// [`String::from`]: From::from
81///
82/// ```
83/// let hello = String::from("Hello, world!");
84/// ```
85///
86/// You can append a [`char`] to a `String` with the [`push`] method, and
87/// append a [`&str`] with the [`push_str`] method:
88///
89/// ```
90/// let mut hello = String::from("Hello, ");
91///
92/// hello.push('w');
93/// hello.push_str("orld!");
94/// ```
95///
96/// [`push`]: String::push
97/// [`push_str`]: String::push_str
98///
99/// If you have a vector of UTF-8 bytes, you can create a `String` from it with
100/// the [`from_utf8`] method:
101///
102/// ```
103/// // some bytes, in a vector
104/// let sparkle_heart = vec![240, 159, 146, 150];
105///
106/// // We know these bytes are valid, so we'll use `unwrap()`.
107/// let sparkle_heart = String::from_utf8(sparkle_heart).unwrap();
108///
109/// assert_eq!("๐Ÿ’–", sparkle_heart);
110/// ```
111///
112/// [`from_utf8`]: String::from_utf8
113///
114/// # UTF-8
115///
116/// `String`s are always valid UTF-8. If you need a non-UTF-8 string, consider
117/// [`OsString`]. It is similar, but without the UTF-8 constraint. Because UTF-8
118/// is a variable width encoding, `String`s are typically smaller than an array of
119/// the same `char`s:
120///
121/// ```
122/// // `s` is ASCII which represents each `char` as one byte
123/// let s = "hello";
124/// assert_eq!(s.len(), 5);
125///
126/// // A `char` array with the same contents would be longer because
127/// // every `char` is four bytes
128/// let s = ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'];
129/// let size: usize = s.into_iter().map(|c| size_of_val(&c)).sum();
130/// assert_eq!(size, 20);
131///
132/// // However, for non-ASCII strings, the difference will be smaller
133/// // and sometimes they are the same
134/// let s = "๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–";
135/// assert_eq!(s.len(), 20);
136///
137/// let s = ['๐Ÿ’–', '๐Ÿ’–', '๐Ÿ’–', '๐Ÿ’–', '๐Ÿ’–'];
138/// let size: usize = s.into_iter().map(|c| size_of_val(&c)).sum();
139/// assert_eq!(size, 20);
140/// ```
141///
142/// This raises interesting questions as to how `s[i]` should work.
143/// What should `i` be here? Several options include byte indices and
144/// `char` indices but, because of UTF-8 encoding, only byte indices
145/// would provide constant time indexing. Getting the `i`th `char`, for
146/// example, is available using [`chars`]:
147///
148/// ```
149/// let s = "hello";
150/// let third_character = s.chars().nth(2);
151/// assert_eq!(third_character, Some('l'));
152///
153/// let s = "๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–";
154/// let third_character = s.chars().nth(2);
155/// assert_eq!(third_character, Some('๐Ÿ’–'));
156/// ```
157///
158/// Next, what should `s[i]` return? Because indexing returns a reference
159/// to underlying data it could be `&u8`, `&[u8]`, or something similar.
160/// Since we're only providing one index, `&u8` makes the most sense but that
161/// might not be what the user expects and can be explicitly achieved with
162/// [`as_bytes()`]:
163///
164/// ```
165/// // The first byte is 104 - the byte value of `'h'`
166/// let s = "hello";
167/// assert_eq!(s.as_bytes()[0], 104);
168/// // or
169/// assert_eq!(s.as_bytes()[0], b'h');
170///
171/// // The first byte is 240 which isn't obviously useful
172/// let s = "๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–";
173/// assert_eq!(s.as_bytes()[0], 240);
174/// ```
175///
176/// Due to these ambiguities/restrictions, indexing with a `usize` is simply
177/// forbidden:
178///
179/// ```compile_fail,E0277
180/// let s = "hello";
181///
182/// // The following will not compile!
183/// println!("The first letter of s is {}", s[0]);
184/// ```
185///
186/// It is more clear, however, how `&s[i..j]` should work (that is,
187/// indexing with a range). It should accept byte indices (to be constant-time)
188/// and return a `&str` which is UTF-8 encoded. This is also called "string slicing".
189/// Note this will panic if the byte indices provided are not character
190/// boundaries - see [`is_char_boundary`] for more details. See the implementations
191/// for [`SliceIndex<str>`] for more details on string slicing. For a non-panicking
192/// version of string slicing, see [`get`].

195/// [`SliceIndex<str>`]: core::slice::SliceIndex
196/// [`as_bytes()`]: str::as_bytes
197/// [`get`]: str::get
198/// [`is_char_boundary`]: str::is_char_boundary
199///
200/// The [`bytes`] and [`chars`] methods return iterators over the bytes and
201/// codepoints of the string, respectively. To iterate over codepoints along
202/// with byte indices, use [`char_indices`].
203///
204/// [`bytes`]: str::bytes
205/// [`chars`]: str::chars
206/// [`char_indices`]: str::char_indices
207///
208/// # Deref
209///
210/// `String` implements <code>[Deref]<Target = [str]></code>, and so inherits all of [`str`]'s
211/// methods. In addition, this means that you can pass a `String` to a
212/// function which takes a [`&str`] by using an ampersand (`&`):
213///
214/// ```
215/// fn takes_str(s: &str) { }
216///
217/// let s = String::from("Hello");
218///
219/// takes_str(&s);
220/// ```
221///
222/// This will create a [`&str`] from the `String` and pass it in. This
223/// conversion is very inexpensive, and so generally, functions will accept
224/// [`&str`]s as arguments unless they need a `String` for some specific
225/// reason.
226///
227/// In certain cases Rust doesn't have enough information to make this
228/// conversion, known as [`Deref`] coercion. In the following example a string
229/// slice [`&'a str`][`&str`] implements the trait `TraitExample`, and the function
230/// `example_func` takes anything that implements the trait. In this case Rust
231/// would need to make two implicit conversions, which Rust doesn't have the
232/// means to do. For that reason, the following example will not compile.
233///
234/// ```compile_fail,E0277
235/// trait TraitExample {}
236///
237/// impl<'a> TraitExample for &'a str {}
238///
239/// fn example_func<A: TraitExample>(example_arg: A) {}
240///
241/// let example_string = String::from("example_string");
242/// example_func(&example_string);
243/// ```
244///
245/// There are two options that would work instead. The first would be to
246/// change the line `example_func(&example_string);` to
247/// `example_func(example_string.as_str());`, using the method [`as_str()`]
248/// to explicitly extract the string slice containing the string. The second
249/// way changes `example_func(&example_string);` to
250/// `example_func(&*example_string);`. In this case we are dereferencing a
251/// `String` to a [`str`], then referencing the [`str`] back to
252/// [`&str`]. The second way is more idiomatic, however both work to do the
253/// conversion explicitly rather than relying on the implicit conversion.
254///
255/// # Representation
256///
257/// A `String` is made up of three components: a pointer to some bytes, a
258/// length, and a capacity. The pointer points to the internal buffer which `String`
259/// uses to store its data. The length is the number of bytes currently stored
260/// in the buffer, and the capacity is the size of the buffer in bytes. As such,
261/// the length will always be less than or equal to the capacity.
262///
263/// This buffer is always stored on the heap.
264///
265/// You can look at these with the [`as_ptr`], [`len`], and [`capacity`]
266/// methods:
267///
268/// ```
269/// let story = String::from("Once upon a time...");
270///
271/// // Deconstruct the String into parts.
272/// let (ptr, len, capacity) = story.into_raw_parts();
273///
274/// // story has nineteen bytes
275/// assert_eq!(19, len);
276///
277/// // We can re-build a String out of ptr, len, and capacity. This is all
278/// // unsafe because we are responsible for making sure the components are
279/// // valid:
280/// let s = unsafe { String::from_raw_parts(ptr, len, capacity) } ;
281///
282/// assert_eq!(String::from("Once upon a time..."), s);
283/// ```
284///
285/// [`as_ptr`]: str::as_ptr
286/// [`len`]: String::len
287/// [`capacity`]: String::capacity
288///
289/// If a `String` has enough capacity, adding elements to it will not
290/// re-allocate. For example, consider this program:
291///
292/// ```
293/// let mut s = String::new();
294///
295/// println!("{}", s.capacity());
296///
297/// for _ in 0..5 {
298///     s.push_str("hello");
299///     println!("{}", s.capacity());
300/// }
301/// ```
302///
303/// This will output the following:
304///
305/// ```text
306/// 0
307/// 8
308/// 16
309/// 16
310/// 32
311/// 32
312/// ```
313///
314/// At first, we have no memory allocated at all, but as we append to the
315/// string, it increases its capacity appropriately. If we instead use the
316/// [`with_capacity`] method to allocate the correct capacity initially:
317///
318/// ```
319/// let mut s = String::with_capacity(25);
320///
321/// println!("{}", s.capacity());
322///
323/// for _ in 0..5 {
324///     s.push_str("hello");
325///     println!("{}", s.capacity());
326/// }
327/// ```
328///
329/// [`with_capacity`]: String::with_capacity
330///
331/// We end up with a different output:
332///
333/// ```text
334/// 25
335/// 25
336/// 25
337/// 25
338/// 25
339/// 25
340/// ```
341///
342/// Here, there's no need to allocate more memory inside the loop.

2818/// necessary). This is done to avoid allocating a new `String` and copying the entire contents on
2819/// every operation, which would lead to *O*(*n*^2) running time when building an *n*-byte string by
2820/// repeated concatenation.
2821///
2822/// The string on the right-hand side is only borrowed; its contents are copied into the returned
2823/// `String`.
2824///
2825/// # Examples

2828///
2829/// ```
2830/// let a = String::from("hello");
2831/// let b = String::from(" world");
2832/// let c = a + &b;
2833/// // `a` is moved and can no longer be used here.
2834/// ```
2835///
2836/// If you want to keep using the first `String`, you can clone it and append to the clone instead:
2837///
2838/// ```
2839/// let a = String::from("hello");
2840/// let b = String::from(" world");
2841/// let c = a.clone() + &b;
2842/// // `a` is still valid here.
2843/// ```
2844///
2845/// Concatenating `&str` slices can be done by converting the first to a `String`:
2846///
2847/// ```
2848/// let a = "hello";
2849/// let b = " world";
2850/// let c = a.to_string() + b;
