An anagram is a rearrangement of letters to form a new word. Given a word and a list of candidates, select the sublist of anagrams of the given word.
Given "listen" and a list of candidates like "enlists" "google" "inlets" "banana" the program should return a list containing
"inlets".
The solution is case insensitive, which means "WOrd" is the same as "word" or "woRd". It may help to take a peek at the std library for functions that can convert between them.
The solution cannot contain the input word. A word is always an anagram of itself, which means it is not an interesting result. Given "hello" and the list ["hello", "olleh"] the answer is ["olleh"].
Refer to the exercism help page for Rust installation and learning resources.
Execute the tests with:
$ cargo testAll but the first test have been ignored. After you get the first test to
pass, open the tests source file which 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 ignored tests without editing the tests source file, use:
$ cargo test -- --ignoredTo run a specific test, for example some_test, you can use:
$ cargo test some_testIf the specific test is ignored use:
$ cargo test some_test -- --ignoredTo learn more about Rust tests refer to the online test documentation
Make sure to read the Modules chapter if you haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.
After you have solved the exercise, please consider using the additional utilities, described in the installation guide, to further refine your final solution.
To format your solution, inside the solution directory use
cargo fmtTo see, if your solution contains some common ineffective use cases, inside the solution directory use
cargo clippy --all-targetsGenerally you should submit all files in which you implemented your solution (src/lib.rs in most cases). If you are using any external crates, please consider submitting the Cargo.toml file. This will make the review process faster and clearer.
The exercism/rust repository on GitHub is the home for all of the Rust exercises. If you have feedback about an exercise, or want to help implement new exercises, head over there and create an issue. Members of the rust track team are happy to help!
If you want to know more about Exercism, take a look at the contribution guide.

It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
