# Two Bucket Given two buckets of different size, demonstrate how to measure an exact number of liters by strategically transferring liters of fluid between the buckets. Since this mathematical problem is fairly subject to interpretation / individual approach, the tests have been written specifically to expect one overarching solution. To help, the tests provide you with which bucket to fill first. That means, when starting with the larger bucket full, you are NOT allowed at any point to have the smaller bucket full and the larger bucket empty (aka, the opposite starting point); that would defeat the purpose of comparing both approaches! Your program will take as input: - the size of bucket one - the size of bucket two - the desired number of liters to reach - which bucket to fill first, either bucket one or bucket two Your program should determine: - the total number of "moves" it should take to reach the desired number of liters, including the first fill - which bucket should end up with the desired number of liters (let's say this is bucket A) - either bucket one or bucket two - how many liters are left in the other bucket (bucket B) Note: any time a change is made to either or both buckets counts as one (1) move. Example: Bucket one can hold up to 7 liters, and bucket two can hold up to 11 liters. Let's say bucket one, at a given step, is holding 7 liters, and bucket two is holding 8 liters (7,8). If you empty bucket one and make no change to bucket two, leaving you with 0 liters and 8 liters respectively (0,8), that counts as one "move". Instead, if you had poured from bucket one into bucket two until bucket two was full, leaving you with 4 liters in bucket one and 11 liters in bucket two (4,11), that would count as only one "move" as well. To conclude, the only valid moves are: - pouring from one bucket to another - emptying one bucket and doing nothing to the other - filling one bucket and doing nothing to the other Written with <3 at [Fullstack Academy](http://www.fullstackacademy.com/) by Lindsay Levine. ## 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.
