I want move elements of HashSet[0] to HashSet[1], but always encounter borrowed error: I try using a tmp vec to save the elemetns, but problem still exists:
use std::collections::HashSet;
fn main() {
let mut hsets = vec![];
hsets.push(HashSet::new());
hsets[0].insert("a1");
hsets[0].insert("a2");
hsets.push(HashSet::new());
hsets[1].insert("b1");
hsets[1].insert("b2");
// tmp vec save hsets[0]: [a1, a2]
let mut arr = vec![];
for v in &hsets[0] {
arr.push(v);
}
for v2 in arr {
hsets[1].insert(v2);
}
}
Result:
error[E0502]: cannot borrow `hsets` as mutable because it is also borrowed as immutable
--> src/main.rs:18:9

13 | for v in &hsets[0] {
| ----- immutable borrow occurs here
...
17 | for v2 in arr {
| --- immutable borrow later used here
18 | hsets[1].insert(v2);
| ^^^^^ mutable borrow occurs here
error: aborting due to previous error
I'm assuming you don't want to move the HashSets out of the Vec or de-allocate them, in which case you can do this:
use std::collections::HashSet;
fn main() {
let mut hsets = vec![];
// first set
hsets.push(HashSet::new());
hsets[0].insert("a1");
hsets[0].insert("a2");
// second set
hsets.push(HashSet::new());
hsets[1].insert("b1");
hsets[1].insert("b2");
dbg!(&hsets);
assert_eq!(hsets[0].len(), 2);
assert_eq!(hsets[1].len(), 2);
// move elements from first set to second set
let (first, second) = hsets.split_at_mut(1);
second[0].extend(first[0].drain());
dbg!(&hsets);
assert_eq!(hsets[0].len(), 0);
assert_eq!(hsets[1].len(), 4);
}
