# RUST Programming Assessment

## Description
The RUST Programming test evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level to mid-level programmers to write, debug, deploy, and maintain business applications in Rust using standard libraries, keywords, packages, and tools. The test measures key skill areas including Ownership, Borrowing, and Lifetimes; Structs, Enums, Traits, and Generics; Error Handling with Result and Option; Pattern Matching, Control Flow, and Iterators; Collections such as Vectors, Hash Maps, and Strings; and Cargo, Modules, Crates, and Testing. Questions are presented in Essay Composition, Multiple Choice, and Multiple Correct Answer formats, and are drawn from a large pool to help prevent cheating. Certain questions are subject to individual time limits to further deter cheating and improve predictive performance, and one or more questions are scored using artificial intelligence.
