Fix Rust E0283 ambiguous type errors by adding explicit type annotations or turbofish syntax to resolve compiler inference issues.

Fix error E0283 by explicitly specifying the type the compiler cannot infer, usually via a type annotation or a turbofish operator.

fn main() {
    // Explicitly annotate the variable type
    let x: i32 = 5;
    
    // Or use turbofish syntax for function calls
    let result: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3];
}
