# Hello World
The classical introductory exercise. Just say "Hello, World!".
["Hello, World!"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program) is
the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language
or environment.
The objectives are simple:
- Write a function that returns the string "Hello, World!".
- Run the test suite and make sure that it succeeds.
- Submit your solution and check it at the website.
If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise.
## Rust Installation
Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
resources.
## Writing the Code
Execute the tests with:
```bash
$ cargo test
```
All but the first test have been ignored. After you get the first test to
pass, open the tests source file which is located in the `tests` directory
and remove the `#[ignore]` flag from the next test and get the tests to pass
again. Each separate test is a function with `#[test]` flag above it.
Continue, until you pass every test.
If you wish to run all tests without editing the tests source file, use:
```bash
$ cargo test -- --ignored
```
To run a specific test, for example `some_test`, you can use:
```bash
$ cargo test some_test
```
If the specific test is ignored use:
```bash
$ cargo test some_test -- --ignored
```
To learn more about Rust tests refer to the [online test documentation][rust-tests]
Make sure to read the [Modules](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/2018-edition/ch07-00-modules.html) chapter if you
haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.
