How to skip the first item(s) of an iterator in Rust?

Question

When iterating over arguments (for example) thats the most straightforward way to skip the first N elements?

eg:

use std::env;

fn main() {
    for arg in env::args() {
        println!("Argument: {}", arg);
    }
}

I tried env::args()[1..] but slicing isn't supported.

Whats the simplest way to skip the first arguments of an iterator?

Answer 1

Turns out the .skip() method can be used, eg:

use std::env;

fn main() {
    for arg in env::args().skip(1) {
        println!("Argument: {}", arg);
    }
}

You could also do something like

  fn main() {
      let args: Vec<String> = env::args().collect();
      for x in &args[1..]
      {
          println!("{:?}", x);
      }
  }
