I'm creating a vector with vec!, and some values are applied in the wrong order, others don't get put at all, and some garbage values appear. I can confirm this with the debugger and the produced file.
#Why is vec! putting values twice or in the wrong order

I also have code to read the file and convert it to be readable and it produces a different output every time with the same file..
Am I doing something horribly wrong here?
I'm using file.write_all and file.read_to_end
When I println! the vector, it shows the same incorrect values as the ones in the file

you're missing commas
ivory shard
bruh
im so stupid
thanks lol
the file is still being read incorrectly though

a HashMap isn't an ordered collection
the order of iteration is randomized
if that matters
I cannot really see what you're doing
ivory shard
I'm iterating over the file's length
wait
I'm also iterating over the map
And then comparing the values of the current byte from read_data and the current value from the map

if you want a map that preserves the original insertion order, use https://docs.rs/indexmap/
if you want a stable order and 'sorted' will do, use https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.BTreeMap.html

by the way @ivory shard, you would’ve spotted the missing comma much more quickly if you had rustfmt set up to run on save
you can do that by enable format on save in the vscode preferences
