Day 1: Morning Exercises

We will be using collective-rustlings for the exercises in this course.

collective-rustlings is a temporary fork of rustlings which is a collection of “small exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code”. rustlings is an awesome learning resource for Rust!

I created the fork to be able to integrate collective-score into it so that your progress is shared with the class while you work on the exercises. I also removed some exercises and changed the order of some to fit the order of topics in this course.

Before starting with the exercises, you have to follow the following steps:

• Install Rust using rustup
• Install VS-Code (unless you want to use your own editor with language server support rust-analyzer)
  • Install the rust-analyzer plugin
• Install Git if not already installed on your system.
• Follow the instructions in the README to clone the collective-rustlings repository, install the program, register yourself and enable the rust-analyzer support.
• Open the directory collective-rustlings of the cloned repository in VS-Code.
• Open a terminal in VS-Code and run the command rustlings watch in it.

If you need any help, you can always ask me 😃

You should do the following Rustlings:

• intro1
• intro2
• variables1
• variables2
• variables3
• variables4
• variables5
• functions1
• functions2
• functions3
• if1
• if2
• if3

rustlings watch will guide you through these exercises in the same order. But you should stop after the last exercise listed above. The rest of the exercises will be done later.
