💡Structs in Rust can be allocated on the stack or the heap.
🧱Stack allocation is used for structs defined locally within a function.
💻Heap allocation is used for structs created with Box::new.

What is the difference between stack and heap allocation?
—Stack allocation is fast but has limited size, while heap allocation allows dynamic memory allocation but is slower.
When should I use stack allocation?
—Stack allocation is suitable for smaller data that is only needed within a function scope.
When should I use heap allocation?
—Heap allocation is suitable for larger data or data that needs to be accessed outside of its original scope.
