Pull Request: Clarify Type Inference Differences Between Vec and HashMap
Description
This PR identifies and adds an explanation about the differences in type inference behavior between
VecandHashMapcollections to address inconsistencies in the current documentation. The clarification helps readers understand why vectors require immediate type annotation when empty while hash maps can defer type inference until insertion.Changes Made
Added explanation to a paragraph in Chapter 8 (Common Collections, Hash Map) that identifies and explains the technical reason for the different initialization patterns between the two collection types.
Files Changed
src/ch08-03-hash-maps.mdMotivation
This change addresses a potential point of confusion for readers who might wonder why different collection types have different type inference behaviors despite both being homogeneous collections that store data on the heap.
Testing
The added explanation has been reviewed for technical accuracy and clarity.
