Paths

A path is a way of refering to named items.

Example

mod utils {
    fn sum(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
        a + b
    }
}

fn foo() -> i32 { utils::sum(1, 2) }

let a: i32;
    
fn main() {
    let a: i32 = 1;     // Local variable
    self::a = foo();    // Access the 'a' variable from the module

}

In the example above we have 4 paths

• Inside sum. Both a and b are paths.
• utils::sum is a path composed of two segments: utils and sum
• self::a is a path that refers to “the item a inside the current module”
