# Hello World

The classical introductory exercise. Just say "Hello, World!".

["Hello, World!"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program) is
the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language
or environment.

The objectives are simple:

- Write a function that returns the string "Hello, World!".
- Run the test suite and make sure that it succeeds.
- Submit your solution and check it at the website.

If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise.

## Rust Installation

Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
resources.

## Writing the Code

Execute the tests with:

```bash
$ cargo test
```

All but the first test have been ignored. After you get the first test to
pass, open the tests source file which is located in the `tests` directory
and remove the `#[ignore]` flag from the next test and get the tests to pass
again. Each separate test is a function with `#[test]` flag above it.
Continue, until you pass every test.

If you wish to run all ignored tests without editing the tests source file, use:

```bash
$ cargo test -- --ignored
```

To run a specific test, for example `some_test`, you can use:

```bash
$ cargo test some_test
```

If the specific test is ignored use:

```bash
$ cargo test some_test -- --ignored
```

To learn more about Rust tests refer to the [online test documentation][rust-tests]

Make sure to read the [Modules][modules] chapter if you
haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.

## Further improvements

After you have solved the exercise, please consider using the additional utilities, described in the [installation guide](https://exercism.io/tracks/rust/installation), to further refine your final solution.

To format your solution, inside the solution directory use

```bash
cargo fmt
```

To see, if your solution contains some common ineffective use cases, inside the solution directory use

```bash
cargo clippy --all-targets
```

## Submitting the solution

Generally you should submit all files in which you implemented your solution (`src/lib.rs` in most cases). If you are using any external crates, please consider submitting the `Cargo.toml` file. This will make the review process faster and clearer.

## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests

The [exercism/rust](https://github.com/exercism/rust) repository on GitHub is the home for all of the Rust exercises. If you have feedback about an exercise, or want to help implement new exercises, head over there and create an issue. Members of the rust track team are happy to help!

If you want to know more about Exercism, take a look at the [contribution guide](https://github.com/exercism/docs/blob/main/contributing-to-language-tracks/README.md).

# Getting Started

These exercises lean on Test-Driven Development (TDD), but they're not
an exact match.

The following steps assume that you are in the same directory as the exercise.

You must have rust installed.
Follow the [Installation chapter in the Rust book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch01-01-installation.html).
The [Rust language section](http://exercism.io/languages/rust)
section from exercism is also useful.

## Step 1

Run the test suite. It can be run with `cargo`, which is installed with rust.

```
$ cargo test
```

This will compile the `hello-world` crate and run the test, which fails.

```
running 1 test
test test_hello_world ... FAILED

failures:

---- test_hello_world stdout ----
thread 'test_hello_world' panicked at 'assertion failed: `(left == right)`
(left: `"Hello, World!"`, right: `"Goodbye, World!"`)', tests/hello-world.rs:5

failures:
test_hello_world

test result: FAILED. 0 passed; 1 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured
```

### Understanding Test Failures

The `test_hello_world` failure states that it is expecting the value,
`"Hello, World!"`, to be returned from `hello()`.
The left side of the assertion (at line 5) should be equal to the right side.

```
---- test_hello_world stdout ----
thread 'test_hello_world' panicked at 'assertion failed: `(left == right)`
(left: `"Hello, World!"`, right: `"Goodbye, World!"`)', tests/hello-world.rs:5
```

### Fixing the Error

To fix it, open up `src/lib.rs` and change the `hello` function to return
`"Hello, World!"` instead of `"Goodbye, World!"`.

```rust
pub fn hello() -> &'static str {
"Hello, World!"
}
```

## Step 2

Run the test again. This time, it will pass.

```
running 0 tests

test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured

Running target/debug/deps/hello_world-bd1f06dc726ef14f

running 1 test
test test_hello_world ... ok

test result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured

Doc-tests hello-world

running 0 tests

test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured
```

## Submit

Once the test is passing, you can submit your code with the following
command:

```
$ exercism submit src/lib.rs
```
