Hello World

Hello, World!

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

fn means function. main function is the beginning of every Rust program. println! prints text to the console and its ! indicate that it’s a macro instead of a function.

💡 Rust files should have .rs file extension and if you’re using more than one word for the file name, follow the snake_case.

• Save above code in file.rs , but it can be any name with .rs extension.

• Compiling via rustc file.rs

• Executing by ./file on Linux and Mac or file.exe on Windows
