note: this is for practicing rust only, do not use this in actual production programs!
really, don't.
[dependencies]
simple-std = "0.1.1"
simple-std is a little extension to the standard library, providing additional helpers for getting input or creating random numbers.
std
is very useful, but it's lacking for little beginner exercises (for a good reason), so I made this library to help with that.
Every function from this library has a little section on why this function isn't in std
, to help you understand the reasoning behind including something in std
.
Examples
Greeting
use simple_std::input;
fn main() {
println!("What is your name?");
let name = input();
println!("Hello {}!", name)
}
Guessing game
use std::cmp::Ordering;
use simple_std::{prompt, random_int_range};
fn main() {
let number = random_int_range(0..100);
loop {
let input = prompt("Guess: ").parse::<i32>().expect("not a number");
match input.cmp(&number) {
Ordering::Less => println!("Too Small"),
Ordering::Greater => println!("Too Big"),
Ordering::Equal => {
println!("You win!");
break;
}
}
}
}
