Rust program to generate a random tuple

Rust | Random Numbers Example: Write a program to generate a random tuple.
Submitted by Nidhi, on November 12, 2021

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will generate a random tuple that contains a 32-bit integer, Boolean value, and 64-bit float number.

Add random external library to your project

Create your project using the below command.
```
$cargo new random --bin
```
Goto the project folder cd random and edit Cargo.toml file.
```
$random>nano Cargo.toml
```
Then add dependency in Cargo.toml file
```
[dependencies]
rand = "0.5.5"
```
After that, build your project using the below command
```
$random>cargo build
```
Then execute your project after modification in the src/main.rs source file.
```
$random>cargo run
```

Program/Source Code:

The source code to generate a random tuple is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on UBUNTU 18.04 successfully.

// Rust program to generate a random tuple

use rand::Rng;
use rand::distributions::{Distribution, Standard};

fn main() {
    let mut rnd = rand::thread_rng();
    let myTuple = rnd.gen::<(i32, bool, f64)>();

    println!("Generated random tuple: {:?}", myTuple);
}

Output:

$random> cargo run
Compiling random v0.1.0 (/home/arvind/Desktop/rust/random)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.29s
     Running `target/debug/random`

Generated random tuple: (319921382, true, 0.8608721348875811)

Explanation:

In the above program, we imported the "rand" library to our project for generating random numbers. We imported the "rand" library using the below line:

use rand::Rng;

In the main() function, we generated a tuple using the gen() method and printed the result.
