really, don't.
```toml
[dependencies]
simple-std = "0.1.1"
```
simple-std is a little extension to the standard library,
providing additional helpers for getting input or creating random numbers.
`std` is very useful, but it's lacking for little beginner exercises
(for a good reason), so I made this library to help with that.
Every function from this library has a little section on why this function isn't in `std`, to help you understand
the reasoning behind including something in `std`.
# Examples
Greeting
```rust
use simple_std::input;
fn main() {
println!("What is your name?");
let name = input();
println!("Hello {}!", name)
}
```
Guessing game
```rust
use simple_std::{prompt, random_int_range};
fn main() {
let number = random_int_range(0..100);
loop {
let input = prompt("Guess: ").parse::<i32>().expect("not a number");
if input < number {
println!("Higher");
} else if input > number {
println!("Lower");
} else {
println!("Correct!");
break;
}
}
}
```
