Understand it, then run it

Run it now

Todayrust
// This program demonstrates how to add the RustFS crate as a dependency
// and create a client.  RustFS is not yet part of the standard library,
// so we cannot compile it here.  The code below is for illustration only.

fn main() {
    // In a real project, add `rustfs = "0.1"` to Cargo.toml
    // and use the following code to create a client.
    //
    // let client = rustfs::Client::new("http://localhost:9000");
    // client.put_object("bucket", "key", b"hello world");
    //
    // Since RustFS is not available in this sandbox, the program
    // simply prints a placeholder message.
    println!("RustFS crate would be used here if available.");
}

What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)

RustFS crate would be used here if available.

Run sends this program (for Solidity, the contract and its tests) to our own sandbox, where it is compiled and run once, with no network, and what it printed or the test report comes back here. Nothing is kept. Runs are counted per visitor for the day so everyone gets a turn; the details are on the legal page.
