In the src/bin folder, create a file called stdin.rs
-
Add the following code and run it with cargo run --bin stdin:
1 use std::io;
2 use std::io::prelude::*;
3
4 fn main() {
5 print_single_line("Please enter your forename: ");
6 let forename = read_line_iter();
7
8 print_single_line("Please enter your surname: ");
9 let surname = read_line_buffer();
10
11 print_single_line("Please enter your age: ");
12 let age = read_number();
13
14 println!(
15 "Hello, {} year old human named {} {}!",
16 age, forename, surname
17 );
18 }
19
20 fn print_single_line(text: &str) {
21 // We can print lines without adding a newline
22 print!("{}", text);
23 // However, we need to flush stdout afterwards
24 // in order to guarantee that the data actually displays
25 io::stdout().flush().expect("Failed to flush stdout");
26 }
27
28 fn read_line_iter() -> String {
29 let stdin = io::stdin();

35 .trim()
