What is Ownership Rules and Memory Safety?
Rust's ownership has three key rules: each value has exactly one owner, only one owner exists at a time, and values are dropped when owners go out of scope. This prevents data races, ensures memory safety without garbage collection, and eliminates common bugs like use-after-free and memory leaks.
