The new method has no special feature

  • new

  • We could use any other name instead of new. For example we could use qqrq as well.

  • The name new is only to give the power of familiarity.

impl Something {

        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    let sg = Something {
        name: String::from("Foo Bar"),
        number: 42,
    };
    println!("{:?}", sg);

    let new = Something::qqrq();
    println!("{:?}", new);
