Rust Program: Integer-String conversion

Rust Basic: Exercise-4 with Solution

Write a Rust program that converts an integer to a string and vice versa and prints the result.

Sample Solution:

Rust Code:

fn main() {
    // Convert integer to string
    let integer_value = 42;
    let string_value = integer_value.to_string();
    println!("Integer to string: {}", string_value);

    // Convert string to integer
    let string_value = "123";
    let parsed_integer: Result = string_value.parse();
    match parsed_integer {
        Ok(int_value) => println!("String to integer: {}", int_value),
        Err(_) => println!("Failed to parse string to integer"),
    }
}

Output:

Integer to string: 42
String to integer: 123

Explanation:

Here's a brief explanation of the above Rust code:

• Convert integer to string:
• We declare an integer variable 'integer_value' and initialize it with the value 42.
• We use the "to_string()" method to convert 'integer_value' to a "String" and store the result in the variable 'string_value'.
• We print the converted string value using "println!()".
• Convert string to integer:
• We declare a string variable 'string_value' and initialize it with the string "123".
• We use the parse() method to parse 'string_value' into an integer. Since parse() returns a 'Result', we use pattern matching (match) to handle both success and error cases.
• In the success case (Ok(int_value)), we print the parsed integer value.
• In the error case (Err(_)), we print a message indicating parsing failure.
