🚨 Rust Panic! — When Rust says “Nope” 🚨
Sometimes code hits an unrecoverable error. Rust’s answer? panic!
Two causes:
1️⃣ You call panic! directly
2️⃣ Rust detects something illegal (like an out-of-bounds index)
💡 Why panic?
In languages like C, this could read random memory — a security risk! Rust stops execution to keep you safe.
🔍 Debug with backtraces to find the exact source of the problem.
⚙️ Panic modes:
Unwind (default) → cleans up + exits
Abort → smaller, faster binary
✅ Use panic for unexpected, unrecoverable bugs. Handle the rest with Result.
Rust panics = guardrails 🛡️
