When declaring a vector, you typically specify the element type that the vector will contain. For example, to create a vector of integers, you would declare it as Vec. // However, if you want to declare a vector without specifying the element type, you can use the underscore (_) as a placeholder. This is useful when you want the compiler to infer the element type based on the values you insert into the vector. // For example, the following code creates a vector of integers and inserts the values 1, 2, and 3 into it: // let v: Vec<_> = vec![1, 2, 3]; // Here, the underscore allows the compiler to infer that the vector contains integers. If you were to remove the underscore, you would have to explicitly specify the element type as i32: // let v: Vec = vec![1, 2, 3]; fn main() { let mut shopping_list: Vec<_> = Vec::new(); // let mut shopping_list: Vec<&str> = Vec::new(); shopping_list.push("milk"); }
