I am doing the Rust by Example tutorial which has this code snippet:
// Vec example
let vec1 = vec![1, 2, 3];
let vec2 = vec![4, 5, 6];
// `iter()` for vecs yields `&i32`. Destructure to `i32`.
println!("2 in vec1: {}", vec1.iter() .any(|&x| x == 2));
// `into_iter()` for vecs yields `i32`. No destructuring required.
println!("2 in vec2: {}", vec2.into_iter().any(| x| x == 2));
// Array example
let array1 = [1, 2, 3];
let array2 = [4, 5, 6];
// `iter()` for arrays yields `&i32`.
println!("2 in array1: {}", array1.iter() .any(|&x| x == 2));
// `into_iter()` for arrays unusually yields `&i32`.
println!("2 in array2: {}", array2.into_iter().any(|&x| x == 2));
I am thoroughly confused — for a Vec the iterator returned from iter yields references and the iterator returned from into_iter yields values, but for an array these iterators are identical?
What is the use case/API for these two methods?
