What is the default integer type in Rust?

When doing something like:

let mut sum = 5 + 10;

What is the exact type of sum? Is it an arbitrary-size type which can’t be overflowed?

What integer does Rust use?

So how do you know which type of integer to use? If you're unsure, Rust's defaults are generally good places to start: integer types default to i32 . The primary situation in which you'd use isize or usize is when indexing some sort of collection.

What is the type of variable in Rust?

Immutable. By default, variables are immutable − read only in Rust. In other words, the variable's value cannot be changed once a value is bound to a variable name. Let us understand this with an example.

What is i64 data type?

i64 : The 64-bit signed integer type. isize : The pointer-sized signed integer type.

How do you declare types in Rust?

Use the char keyword to declare a variable of character data type. Rust's char type represents a Unicode Scalar Value, which means it can represent a lot more than just ASCII. Unicode Scalar Values range from U+0000 to U+D7FF and U+E000 to U+10FFFF inclusive.

There is RFC 212, which states:

Integer literals whose type is unconstrained will default to i32

If you want there is a clippy lint default_numeric_fallback that can warn you about unwanted fallback.
