Rust: Vec<Vec<T>> into Vec<T>

Question

let a = vec![ vec![1, 2], vec![3, 4], vec![5, 6] ];

How can I gather into a single Vec all the values contained in all the Vecs in a ?

Answer 1

You can use the flatten operator to remove the nesting of the vectors.

The following example is taken from the link.

let data = vec![vec![1, 2, 3, 4], vec![5, 6]];
let flattened = data.into_iter().flatten().collect::<Vec<u8>>();
assert_eq!(flattened, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
