This lesson gives a detailed solution review of the challenge in the previous lesson.

We'll cover the following...

Solution:

Press + to interact
fn test(mut x:i32) {
    // define a mutable variable
    let mut count = 0;
    // define a while loop
    while x >= 0 { 
       x = x - 3; // decrement the value of x by 3
       count = count + 1;
    }
    println!("{}", count);
}
fn main(){
    print!("Iterations when x = 21 :");
    test(21);
    print!("Iterations when x = 33 :");
    test(33);
}

Explanation

  • On line 3, a mutable variable count is initialized with 0.
  • while construct
