What does this function signature mean?
It means the generic type T must implement both the Clone and Debug traits. The function can use methods from both traits on T.

What does mean in Rust?
✗ Incorrect
The syntax means the generic type T must implement the Copy trait.
How do you require a generic type to implement multiple traits?
✗ Incorrect
Use plus signs to require multiple traits: .

✗ Incorrect
The correct syntax uses a colon: .
What happens if a generic type does not meet its trait bound?
✗ Incorrect
Rust checks trait bounds at compile time and gives an error if not met.
Can trait bounds be used on structs?
✗ Incorrect
Trait bounds can restrict generic types in structs, functions, and more.
