Introduction

"Hello World" in C

C

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char input[100];
    
    // Read until a new line is received
    scanf("%[^\n]%*c", input);
    
    printf("Hello, World!");
    printf("\n%s", input);
    
    return 0
}

Rust

use std::io;

fn main() {
    let mut input: String = String::new();

    io::stdin()
        .read_line(&mut input)
        .expect("Give an Input.");

    println!("Hello, world!");
    println!("{input}")
}

Playing with Characters

C

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char ch;
    char s[100];
    char sen[100];
    
    scanf("%c", &ch);
    scanf("%s", s);
    // Reading the \n from the previous line
    scanf("\n");
    // Reading until a \n is received
    scanf("%[^\n]%*c", sen);
    
    printf("%c", ch);
    printf("\n%s", s);
    printf("\n%s", sen);
    
    return 0
}

Rust

use std::io;

fn main() {
    let mut ch: String = String::new();
    let mut s: String = String::new();
    let mut sen: String = String::new();

    io::stdin()
        .read_line(&mut ch)
        .expect("Enter a Character.");

    io::stdin()
        .read_line(&mut s)
        .expect("Enter a Word.");

    io::stdin()
        .read_line(&mut sen)
        .expect("Enter a Sentence");

    print!("{ch}");
    print!("{s}");
    print!("{sen}");

Sum and Difference of Two Numbers

C

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

                                .map(|number| number.parse().expect("Expected Integers."))
                                .collect();

    println!("{} {}", int_a + int_b, int_a - int_b);
    println!("{:.1} {:.1}", float_a + float_b, float_a - float_b);
