A Telegram bot to generate a random numbers in some ranges based on given number. Please note that one input number generates same set of random numbers.

I mostly created this project in order to practice Rust and create a question number generator for each student at the BP class as TA.

Simply, compile this project with cargo build --release. Then, create a file named ranges.txt and place it next to the compiled binary. We will talk about this file in next section. After, set the bot token via TELOXIDE_TOKEN environment variable and run the built binary.

The ranges should look like this

begin1 end1
begin2 end2
...

On each line place the one range of numbers you want to have. The end is exclusive but the begin is inclusive. For example:

1 5
5 8
8 10
1 10 

creates four numbers in ranges of [1, 5), [5, 8), [8, 10) and [1 , 10). As can be seen, there is no restrictions on overlaps or the order of numbers. The only restriction is that the end must be more than begin.
