Let;s say I've this simple function, that is receiving 2 parameters of the same type, in this case, it is i32.
How can I make this function general for any two numbers under the condition of being of the same type, mmm how also can I define it, if I need them not to be from the same type?
fn foo(x: i32, y: i32) -> i32 {
}
And is there any difference if the input is Vec<T> or Vec<Vec>`
Here is a fast example for generic function: Rust Playground
You can't do it for any numbers in any useful sense. Rust has generics for types that can be anything, which can't do anything number-specific, unless you painfully meticulously declare every single operation, in full detail, that you want to perform on these numbers.
In practice I suggest staying far away from generics on numbers, and using a macro to duplicate methods.
