# prompted: simple prompting and input
Copyright © Bart Massey 2017 (Version 0.2.8)
This crate provides macros for easy non-newline-terminated
flushed printing, and for input line reading. These macros
are intended for new Rust users and for folks who need no
more for simple applications.
## Example
Here's an example adapted from the "Guessing Game" example
in [*The Rust Programming
Language*](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch02-00-guessing-game-tutorial.html).
```rust
use std::cmp::Ordering;
use prompted::input;
fn main() {
println!("Guess the number!");
let n = 100;
let secret_number = 37;
loop {
let guess = input!("Please input your guess (1-{}): ", n);
let guess: u32 = match guess.trim().parse() {
Ok(num) => num,
Err(_) => continue,
};
println!("You guessed: {}", guess);
match guess.cmp(&secret_number) {
Ordering::Less => println!("Too small!"),
Ordering::Greater => println!("Too big!"),
Ordering::Equal => {
println!("You win!");
break;
}
}
}
}
```
