In this article, we explore Rust pointers, starting with an overview of pointers and then focusing on smart pointers. We discuss the concept of pointers in Rust, their usage, and how they differ from direct data access. We also cover different types of pointers, including raw pointers, and highlight their unsafe nature. Additionally, we delve into smart pointers, such as Box, Rc, Arc, Ref and RefMut, explaining their features and use cases.
