Rust: Grab standard input on HackerRank

Date: 2018-10-24 |

Problem: I'm trying to do a Rustlang problem on HackerRank but can't figure out how to read in the input (provided via stdin), how do I do this?

Solution: Use the std::io crate!

Here's an example:

Or, if the embed's not working, the current state (as of writeTime):


use std::io;

fn main() {
    // Create a mutable String read_line can "read" into
    let mut input = String::new();
    // Read the stdin into our input variable
    io::stdin().read_line(&mut input).expect("something went wrong");
    
    // Many HackerRank inputs come in delimited by spaces, this is how you might
    // make that usable
    let iterable_input = input.split(" ");
}
