Hello. Thanks for opening a PR on Exercism. We are currently in a phase of our journey where we have paused community contributions to allow us to take a breather and redesign our community model. You can learn more in this blog post. As such, all issues and PRs in this repository are being automatically closed. That doesn't mean we're not interested in your ideas, or that if you're stuck on something we don't want to help. The best place to discuss things is with our community on the Exercism Community Forum. You can use this link to copy this into a new topic there. Note: If this PR has been pre-approved, please link back to this PR on the forum thread and a maintainer or staff member will reopen it. |

| Rust items are often organized in modules. Each crate is implicitly a module, but it can define inner sub-modules of arbitrary depth. A module groups related functionality and is defined using the `mod` keyword. | ||
| Invoking a function is done by specifying its name followed by parentheses. | ||
| If the function requires parameters, they must be specified within the parentheses. |

The team effort to get the syllabus in a good shape again died down. I'm keeping this open in case it is useful at some point, but I think future work on the syllabus should not hesitate to close this and do something new from scratch. |
