# rustlings
|
|
|
|
Greetings and welcome to rustlings. This project contains small exercises get you used to reading and writing code. This includes reading and responding to compiler messages!
|
|
|
|
## How to get started
|
|
To use rustlings you have to have [rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) installed on your machine.
|
|
If you already have it, you can clone the repo to your local environment with:
|
|
``` bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/rustlings/rustlings.git
|
|
```
|
|
To run rustlings you can either use `cargo run <subcommand>` or you can install rustlings on your machine
|
|
by running `cargo install --path <path to the rustlings repo>`
|
|
(NOTE: for rustling to function you have to be in the directory of the repo).
|
|
|
|
## Doing exercises
|
|
The execises are sorted by topic and can be found in the subdirectory `rustlings/exercises/<topic>`. For every topic there is an additional README file with some reasources to get you started on the topic. We really recommend, that you have a look at them before you start.
|
|
|
|
Your task is simple every exercise contains an error you have to solve, in order to make it compile.
|
|
|
|
Running rustlings with the subcommand `verify` will compile every exercise in the recommended order. It will stop at the first exercise that didn't compile and show you the error to be solved.
|
|
|
|
If you want to run a single erxercise you can use the subcommand `run <path to the exercise>`.
|
|
|
|
When you struggle to solve the error, there is usually a tip at the bottom of the each exercise. |
