Rust

This post explains how to get user input inn Rust programming language

Below is the code snippet for getting user input in Rust



use std::io;

fn main(){

    println!("Enter any number");
    let mut number = String::new();
    io::stdin()
        .read_line(&mut number)
        .expect("Failed to read input");

    println!("Entered number is {}", number);

}
  • use std::io; library provides ability to accept user input.
  • fn main() is declaring new function
  • println! macro prints string to the screen
  • let mut is declaring a mutable variable
  • String::new() is creating a empty string
  • io::stdin().readline() is handling the standard input to get input from user
  • .expect is handling any potential failure
    • Compile and Run the Rust program
