I am working through the Rust tutorial at http://aml3.github.io/RustTutorial/html/01.html , and I am currently on the Collatz problem. When I try to compile this code, I get an error of:
main.rs:9:26: 9:39 error: mismatched types: expected `&str`, found `collections::string::String` (expected &-ptr, found struct collections::string::String)
main.rs:9 let i = from_str::<int>(os::args()[1]).unwrap();
So, I am trying to convert the string given from the command line input into an int
, but the input from the command line is a &str
? What is being mismatched here?
use std::os;
fn main() {
if os::args().len() < 2 {
println!("Error: Please provide a number as argument.");
return;
}
let i = from_str::<int>(os::args()[1]).unwrap();
println!("{:d} has {:d} Collatz steps", i, collatz(i));
}
fn collatz(N: int) -> int {
if N == 1 { return 0; }
match N % 2 {
0 => { 1 + collatz(N/2) }
_ => { 1 + collatz(N*3+1) }
}
}
That tutorial states:
Spring 2014
Which is bad news in Rust-land. Until very recently, the language was undergoing many structural changes. Since the 1.0.0 betas however, the language has stabilized greatly.
So, here's that example fixed:
use std::env; // env, not os
fn main() {
// args is an iterator now
let args: Vec<_> = env::args().collect();
if args.len() < 2 {
println!("Error: Please provide a number as argument.");
return;
}
// int doesn't exist anymore, from_str is better as `parse`
let i: i32 = args[1].parse().unwrap();
// No more `d` specifier
println!("{} has {} Collatz steps", i, collatz(i));
}
// variables should be snake_case
fn collatz(n: i32) -> i32 {
if n == 1 { return 0; }
match n % 2 {
0 => { 1 + collatz(n/2) }
_ => { 1 + collatz(n*3+1) }
}
}
I'd suggest one of
