# Largest Series Product Given a string of digits, calculate the largest product for a contiguous substring of digits of length n. For example, for the input `'1027839564'`, the largest product for a series of 3 digits is 270 (9 * 5 * 6), and the largest product for a series of 5 digits is 7560 (7 * 8 * 3 * 9 * 5). Note that these series are only required to occupy *adjacent positions* in the input; the digits need not be *numerically consecutive*. For the input `'73167176531330624919225119674426574742355349194934'`, the largest product for a series of 6 digits is 23520. # Largest Series Product in Rust These iterators may be useful, depending on your approach - [Windows](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html#method.windows) - [Product](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/trait.Iterator.html#method.product) ## 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 wich 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 specfic 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/second-edition/ch07-00-modules.html) chapter if you haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files. ## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests The [exercism/rust](https://github.com/exercism/rust) repository on GitHub is the home for all of the Rust exercises.
