This is an attempt to run all the example code from the Rust Book.

All of the code is in separate folders. The first level is the chapter number, with a leading zero, like ch02 for examples in chapter 2. Inside, the sub-examples are named with the chapter and an ordinal, and then the name of the example, like ch1_3_hello_cargo.

I use underscores instead of periods in the folder names because Rust does not like periods in folder names.

To avoid the goofy ch* stuff on the executable, edit the Cargo.toml file in the project folder to set the package name to something sensible.

To build, go to the root directory and run:

cargo build

It will build all the projects.

To run a project, run:

cargo run --bin nameofexecutable

Note that all the projects will get built in the target folder in the root. Hopefully, none of the examples will have duplicate names.

To add a project to the build, edit the Cargo.toml file in the root, and add the path to the members array.

To run a project using the tasks.json config in Visual Studio Code, set the path to the project to the default-members array in the root Cargo.toml. Even though it is an array, I'm only putting one thing in there.
