What is a trait bound in Rust?
A trait bound is a way to specify that a generic type must implement a certain trait. It ensures the type has specific behavior or methods.

How do you write a trait bound for a generic function parameter?
You write it using a colon after the generic type, followed by the trait name. For example: means T must implement the Display trait.

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.

Why use trait bounds in Rust?
Trait bounds let you write flexible code that works with many types, but still guarantees those types have certain features or methods you need.

How do you specify trait bounds on multiple generic types?
You specify trait bounds for each generic type separately, like . Each type has its own trait requirements.

What does mean in Rust?
AT is a copy of another type
BT can be any type
CT must implement the Copy trait
DT is a trait
How do you require a generic type to implement multiple traits?
A<T: Trait1 | Trait2>
B<T: Trait1 + Trait2>
C<T: Trait1 & Trait2>
D<T: Trait1, Trait2>
Which of these is a valid trait bound syntax?
A<T: Debug>
B<T Debug>
C<T implements Debug>
D<T is Debug>
What happens if a generic type does not meet its trait bound?
ATrait bound is ignored
BRuntime error
CProgram runs but with warnings
DCompilation error
Can trait bounds be used on structs?
AYes, to restrict generic types in structs
BNo, only on functions
COnly on enums
DOnly on traits
Explain what trait bounds are and why they are useful in Rust.
Think about how Rust checks types before running your program.
