Solution: run several functions on the same text



examples/threads/separate-functions/src/main.rs
fn main() {
    // let (threads, filename) = get_args();

    

    println!("Hello, world!");
}

// fn get_args() -> (u32, String) {
//     let args = std::env::args().collect::<Vec<String>>();
//     if args.len() != 3 {
//         eprintln!("Usage: {} THREADS, FILE", args[0]);
//         std::process::exit(1);
//     }

//     (args[1].parse().unwrap(), args[2].to_owned())
// }


// The idea here is to create CPU intensive functions to be able to show the impact ot threading.
// It is not to create the most optimal functions

// return the first character that repeates itself
fn find_double_characters(text: &str, mut nth: u32) -> Option<char> {
    if text.len() < 2 {
        return None
    }
    if nth < 1 {
        return None;
    }

    let mut resp = None;
    for chr in text.chars() {
        if resp.is_none() {
            resp = Some(chr);
            continue;
        }
        if Some(chr) == resp {
            if nth == 1 {
                return resp
            } else {
                nth -= 1;
            }
        }
        resp = Some(chr);
    }

    None

TODO: How to share workload? e.g. We would like to create 10,000 files with the sequence number of the file being both the content and the filename. TODO: What if we have a vector of 10,000 values and we would like to save each one of them in a separate file?
