# `collect`
|
||||
|
||||
The [`collect`][3] method lets you build a collection from an [`Iterator`][2].
|
||||
|
||||
```rust,editable
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
let primes = vec![2, 3, 5, 7];
|
||||
let prime_squares = primes.into_iter().map(|p| p * p).collect::<Vec<_>>();
|
||||
println!("prime_squares: {prime_squares:?}");
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
|
||||
- Any iterator can be collected in to a `Vec`, `VecDeque`, or `HashSet`.
|
||||
Iterators that produce key-value pairs (i.e. a two-element tuple) can also be
|
||||
collected into `HashMap` and `BTreeMap`.
|
||||
|
||||
Show the students the definition for `collect` in the standard library docs.
|
||||
There are two ways to specify the generic type `B` for this method:
|
||||
|
||||
- With the "turbofish": `some_iterator.collect::<COLLECTION_TYPE>()`, as shown.
|
||||
The `_` shorthand used here lets Rust infer the type of the `Vec` elements.
|
||||
- With type inference: `let prime_squares: Vec<_> = some_iterator.collect()`.
|
||||
Rewrite the example to use this form.
|
||||
|
||||
## More to Explore
|
||||
|
||||
- If students are curious about how this works, you can bring up the
|
||||
[`FromIterator`][1] trait, which defines how each type of collection gets
|
||||
built from an iterator.
|
||||
- In addition to the basic implementations of `FromIterator` for `Vec`,
|
||||
`HashMap`, etc., there are also more specialized implementations which let you
|
||||
do cool things like convert an `Iterator<Item = Result<V, E>>` into a
|
||||
`Result<Vec<V>, E>`.
|
||||
- The reason type annotations are often needed with `collect` is because it's
|
||||
generic over its return type. This makes it harder for the compiler to infer
|
||||
the correct type in a lot of cases.

`Iterator` implements
|

|

```rust,ignore

fn collect<B>(self) -> B

where
|

B: FromIterator<Self::Item>,
|
||||
Self: Sized
