rustHow to loop every second in Rust

Looping every second in Rust can be done using the std::thread::sleep function. This function takes a Duration as an argument, which can be used to specify the amount of time to sleep.

Example code

use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;

for i in 0..5 {
    println!("Looping every second: {}", i);
    sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
}

Output example

Looping every second: 0
Looping every second: 1
Looping every second: 2
Looping every second: 3
Looping every second: 4

Code explanation

• use std::thread::sleep: imports the sleep function from the std::thread module.
• use std::time::Duration: imports the Duration type from the std::time module.
• Duration::from_secs(1): creates a Duration representing 1 second.
• sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)): pauses the program for 1 second.
