Rust conversion int, string, array, u8

help
#1

This is my server.
I want my server to get the value of variable B, change the value of A, and SAVE this chandes, and send to the client the new value of A in array[u8,50]
My question is how can I convert from string to utf8, but array[u8,50]?

fn handle_client(mut stream: TcpStream) {
    let mut data = [0 as u8; 50]; // using 50 byte buffer
    let mut a: i32 = 1;
    while match stream.read(&mut data) {
        Ok(size) => {
           let temps = str::from_utf8(&data).unwrap();  //get the utf8 and made String         
           let temp: i32 = temps.parse().unwrap(); // convert from String to i32
         // actually, I don't know, how to do in the way, when
         // when my variable A doesn't change to the beginning value - 1,
         // every time, when the client sends new value of B ??
    
            a = a * temp;
            
            let st = a.to_string(); // now, converting a:i32 to String
            data = st.into_bytes(); // now I need to convert String to u8, but the error says:
             // expected array [u8,50]
             // found strust 'std::vec::Vec<u8>'
             // so I need to convert String to array [u8,50], BUT HOW?
            // echo everything!
            stream.write(&data[0..size]).unwrap();
            true
        },
        Err(_) => {
            println!("An error occurred, terminating connection with {}", stream.peer_addr().unwrap());
            stream.shutdown(Shutdown::Both).unwrap();
            false
        }
    } {}
}

You can copy the string data to the array with

data[..st.len()].copy_from_slice(st.as_bytes());

Note that you should inspect the value of size, since only the first size bytes are changed by read.

Or you can write it into tcp stream without allocation.

write!(stream, "{}", a).unwrap();
