Topic: Functions
Program requirements:
Displays your first and last name
Notes:
Use a function to display your first name
Use a function to display your last name
Use the println macro to display messages to the terminal
function to display your first name
fn first_name() -> String {
"mart".to_string()
}
// function to display your last name
fn last_name() -> String {
"ola".to_string()
}
fn main() {
println!("my name is {} {}", first_name(), last_name());
}
Topic: Basic arithmetic
Program requirements:
Displays the result of the sum of two numbers
Notes:
Use a function to add two numbers together
Use a function to display the result
Use the "{:?}" token in the println macro to display the result
fn add(a: f64, b: f64) -> f64 {
a + b
}
fn main() {
let result = add(1.0, 2.0);
println!("The result is: {:?}", result);
}
Topic: Flow control using if..else
Program requirements:
Displays a message based on the value of a boolean variable
When the variable is set to true, display "hello"
When the variable is set to false, display "goodbye"
Notes:
Use a variable set to either true or false
Use an if..else block to determine which message to display
Use the println macro to display messages to the terminal
fn main() {
let fact = true; // * Use a variable set to either true or false
// * Use an if..else block to determine which message to display
// * Use the println macro to display messages to the terminal
if fact {
println!("hello");
} else {
println!("goodbye");
}
}
Topic: Flow control using if..else if..else
Program requirements:
Display ">5", "<5", or "=5" based on the value of a variable
is > 5, < 5, or == 5, respectively
Notes:
Use a variable set to any integer value
Use an if..else if..else block to determine which message to display
Use the println macro to display messages to the terminal
fn main() {
let compare = 5;
if compare > 5 {
println!("{} is > 5", compare);
} else if compare < 5 {
println!("{} is < 5", compare);
} else {
println!("{} is = 5", compare);
}
}
Topic: Decision making with match
Program requirements:
Display "it's true" or "it's false" based on the value of a variable
Notes:
Use a variable set to either true or false
Use a match expression to determine which message to display
fn main() {
let set = true;
match set {
true => println!("it's true"),
false => println!("it's false"),
}
}
Topic: Decision making with match
Program requirements:
Display "one", "two", "three", or "other" based on whether
the value of a variable is 1, 2, 3, or some other number,
respectively
Notes:
Use a variable set to any integer
Use a match expression to determine which message to display
Use an underscore (_) to match on any value
fn main() {
let number = 100;
match number {
1 => println!("one"),
2 => println!("two"),
3 => println!("three"),
_ => println!("other"),
}
}
Topic: Looping using the loop statement
Program requirements:
Display "1" through "4" in the terminal
Notes:
Use a mutable integer variable
Use a loop statement
Print the variable within the loop statement
Use break to exit the loop
fn main() {
let mut iter = 1;
loop {
println!("{}", iter + 1);
iter += 1;
if iter == 4 {
break;
}
}
}
Topic: Looping using the while statement
Program requirements:
Counts down from 5 to 1, displays the countdown
in the terminal, then prints "done!" when complete.
Notes:
Use a mutable integer variable
Use a while statement
Print the variable within the while loop
Do not use break to exit the loop
fn main() {
let mut countdown = 5;
while countdown > 0 {
println!("{}", countdown);
countdown -= 1;
}
}
Topic: Working with an enum
Program requirements:
Prints the name of a color to the terminal
Notes:
Use an enum with color names as variants
Use a function to print the color name
The function must use the enum as a parameter
Use a match expression to determine which color
name to print
enum Color {
Red,
Pink,
White,
}
fn pintcolor(color: Color) {
match color {
Color::Red => println!("Red"),
Color::Pink => println!("pink"),
Color::White => println!("white"),
}
}
fn main() {
pintcolor(Color::White)
}
Topic: Organizing similar data using structs
Requirements:
Print the flavor of a drink and it's fluid ounces
Notes:
Use an enum to create different flavors of drinks
Use a struct to store drink flavor and fluid ounce information
Use a function to print out the drink flavor and ounces
Use a match expression to print the drink flavor
enum Drinks {
Orange,
Coke,
Fanta,
Lime,
}
// * Use a struct to store drink flavor and fluid ounce information
struct DrinksFlavor {
flavor: Drinks,
fluid: f64,
}
// * Use a function to print out the drink flavor and ounces
fn print_drinks(flavor: DrinksFlavor) {
// * Use a match expression to print the drink flavor
match flavor.flavor {
Drinks::Orange => println!("orange"),
Drinks::Coke => println!("coke"),
Drinks::Fanta => println!("fanta"),
Drinks::Lime => println!("lime"),
}
println!("{} ounces", flavor.fluid);
}
fn main() {
let lime = DrinksFlavor {
flavor: Drinks::Lime,
fluid: 1.0,
};
print_drinks(lime);
let orange = DrinksFlavor {
flavor: Drinks::Orange,
fluid: 1.0,
};
print_drinks(orange);
let coke = DrinksFlavor {
flavor: Drinks::Coke,
fluid: 1.0,
};
print_drinks(coke);
let fanta = DrinksFlavor {
flavor: Drinks::Fanta,
fluid: 1.0,
};
print_drinks(fanta);
}
Topic: Data management using tuples
Requirements:
Print whether the y-value of a cartesian coordinate is
greater than 5, less than 5, or equal to 5
Notes:
Use a function that returns a tuple
Destructure the return value into two variables
Use an if..else if..else block to determine what to print
Use a function that returns a tuple
#[derive(Debug)]
struct Quantity {
grocery: Box<str>,
quantity: i32,
id: i32,
}
fn display_quantity(grocery: &Quantity) {
println!(
"{:#?} {:?} {:?}",
grocery.grocery, grocery.quantity, grocery.id
);
}
fn main() {
let grocery = Quantity {
grocery: "garri".to_string().into(),
quantity: 1,
id: 4,
};
display_quantity(&grocery);
display_quantity(&grocery);
display_quantity(&grocery);
}
