cargo clippy fix

General Approach for Auto Refactoring

  1. use cargo build or cargo clippy to generate error msgs for a specific kind of issue
  2. for each line of error (best to do it backwards), identify the place that need updates
  3. update the code
  4. iterate 1-3 multiple times until all issues are fixed
