adding a write example

[JuanMarchetto]

Hi, i'm creating this example that draw any text you want. For example, if you run in console: cargo run --example write hello it will draw "Hello" if you don't introduce any text: cargo run --example write it will draw "Hello, World!"

you can also pass a font size as a second parameter: cargo run --example write "Hello, World!" 50 and all the letters will ajust to that size, if you don't pass that second parameter 20.0 will be the default.

I still need to implement some more letter but i like to show you the progress at this point. At this point if you introduce a character that currently doesn't have an implemtations will we replaced with '?' and in the console it will trow the followinig message:

I hope you like it.

This is a very cool idea @JuanMarchetto! Great work! 😁 🎉

I'm glad you chose to submit this early, as big examples like this often need a lot of feedback, so discussing it earlier is always better than later. Lots of code to review!

I won't have a chance to look at this in detail for a few days, but here's a couple of things I noticed from skimming through the code:

• It looks like the changes from your clock PR made it into this one for some reason. I'd guess that your local master branch is out of date. I recommend rebasing your PR to fix that. (As a general note, it's a good idea to look through the "Files changed" tab on your PR to catch this kind of stuff earlier.)
• Could you rename your example to letters instead of write? It's possible we'll add a write method in the future (#22) and I won't want this to conflict with the examples we'll eventually add for that
• Please run rustfmt on the files you're adding so the formatting is consistent throughout them
  • Our codebase isn't ready to use with cargo fmt yet, so please use the rustfmt tool on your individual files only:

    rustfmt examples/letters/*

• Since letters.rs is going to get pretty big with 26+ letters, it's a good idea to split it up further into modules like a_to_d.rs, e_to_h.rs, etc.
• Instead of other_chars.rs, the name punctuation.rs might fit better for what's there now
• Good idea to include the ¡ character! I think that's great! 😁
• Since char is the name of a type in Rust, it's a good idea to avoid using it as a variable name. Usually people go with ch or character or something.
• I noticed that you're using radians instead of degrees. Is there any reason for that? I think it might be easier to read / contribute to your code if you use degrees instead
• At the top of src/write/main.rs (which you'll rename to src/letters/main.rs), please add a short comment (example) that describes what this example does and how to run it. This will help people understand what this code does without having to read all of it.
• I quickly put together some argument parsing code that handles a bunch of edge cases your current code doesn't and also prints out a nice help argument whenever there is an error or when the user passes in --help. Since you're learning Rust, I figured this would be a good example of a nice way to write this code using pattern matching and iterators. For actual production applications people usually use structopt (no need for that here). Please incorporate this into your example when you have a chance. 😊

Argument Parsing Code

```rust use std::env; use std::process; fn main() { let (text, font_size) = parse_args(); println!("{}", text); println!("{}", font_size); } /// Parses the command line arguments or exits with a help message if there was /// an error fn parse_args() -> (String, f64) { let mut args = env::args(); // Skip the first argument (the executable name) args.next(); // First argument is the text to draw let text = match args.next() { Some(text) if text == "--help" => print_help(), // This can produce any text, including the empty string Some(text) => text, // Default to `Hello, World!` None => "Hello, World!".to_string(), }; // Second argument is the font size let font_size: f64 = match args.next() { Some(text) if text == "--help" => print_help(), Some(font_size) => match font_size.parse() { Ok(font_size) => if font_size >= 1.0 { font_size } else { println!("Font size argument must be at least 1.0"); println!(); print_help(); }, Err(err) => { println!("Font size argument must be a valid number: {}", err); println!(); print_help(); }, }, // Default to a font size of 20 None => 20.0, }; // Not expecting any other arguments if args.next().is_some() { print_help() } (text, font_size) } /// Prints the help message and then exits /// /// `!` is the "never type" and it means this function never returns fn print_help() -> ! { println!("Draws text on the screen using the turtle."); println!(); println!("EXAMPLES:"); println!(" cargo run --example letters 'Wow! So cool!'"); println!(" Draw the text 'Wow! So cool!'"); println!(); println!(" cargo run --example letters 'Big text!' 50"); println!(" Draw the text 'Big text!' with font size 50"); println!(); println!(" cargo run --example letters -- --help"); println!(" Show this help information"); println!(); println!("FLAGS:"); println!(" --help show this help information"); process::exit(0) } ```

Overall, really great work with this PR! It might take a little longer than last time to review and get merged since there is much more code, but I'm really looking forward to working with you to get this finished. Thanks for taking the time to work on this! 🥳 🎉

Hey @sunjay this is not ready yet, I've been busy this week, but the next one I'll will get back to this and let you know when is ready. Thanks!

[sunjay]

Sounds good! Take as much time as you need. Just wanted to make sure you weren't waiting on me. :)

Happy to help out with anything if you run into any issues. Thanks for all your work!

[JuanMarchetto]

@sunjay i made some progress here, i don't know how to address the coverage failing status do. and if you what this is ready to rewiev. thanks!

[sunjay]

@JuanMarchetto Great! I will have a look over a few days. If I don't get back to you by next week please don't hesitate to ping me. (Hoping to have it done much sooner than that, but thought I'd mention it just in case.)

Don't worry about the coverage status. Only the required statuses + an approval from me are needed to get this merged. :)

Hi @sunjay, can you have a look to this PR? Thanks!

Hi @sunjay, can you have a look to this PR? Thanks!

Hey @JuanMarchetto! Sorry for the delay. I saw that you were still pushing things and assumed that you were still working on it. I will take a look over the next few days. Thanks for all your effort! 😁 🎉

[sunjay]

Hey! Really sorry for not getting to your PR yet. Going through some things and will try to find time soon. I usually try to be really quick with these things, but it unfortunately didn't work out this time. I will get to this! :)
