== Why is this an issue?
|
||
|
|
||
|
An array index out-of-bounds panic is a bug class that occurs in Rust when a
|
||
|
program tries to access an array element that does not exist.
|
||
|
This bug can cause your program to crash or behave unexpectedly.

== How to fix it
|
||
|
|
||
|
To fix an array index out of bounds panic in Rust, you should always ensure
|
||
|
that you are accessing array elements within the bounds of the array.
