Rust Hours – Building `wc` tool from scratch (Part 2)

In this video, we continue building our own wc tool in Rust. We are using the wc command as a reference. The wc command is a Unix utility that counts the number of lines, words, and characters in a file. The name wc stands for “word count”.

In the previous video, we started building our own wc tool in Rust. We implemented the basic functionality of the wc command, which is to count the number of lines, words, and characters in a file. Here is the [link to the previous video][../].

The video is meant for beginners, who are just getting started with the Rust programming language. In case you are new to the language, I would recommend you checkout the previous video.

In this video, we try to build our own wc tool following the steps layed out in the John Crickett’s coding challenge - https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/challenge-wc/.

We could only get too far, so stayed tuned for Part 2. The video is meant for beginners, who are just getting started with the Rust programming language.
