Understand it, then run it

The Rust team has released a new version, 1.98.0. This update brings a handful of new features that make working with numbers a bit easier. For example, the floating‑point types f32 and f64 now have methods that let the compiler reorder arithmetic in ways that can be faster. The integer types also get a new format_into method that can write numbers into a buffer without allocating.
