# Clock
Implement a clock that handles times without dates.
You should be able to add and subtract minutes to it.
Two clocks that represent the same time should be equal to each other.
## Rust Traits for `.to_string()`
Did you implement `.to_string()` for the `Clock` struct?
If so, try implementing the
[Display trait](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/trait.Display.html) for `Clock` instead.
Traits allow for a common way to implement functionality for various types.
For additional learning, consider how you might implement `String::from` for the `Clock` type.
You don't have to actually implement this—it's redundant with `Display`, which is generally the
better choice when the destination type is `String`—but it's useful to have a few type-conversion
traits in your toolkit.
## Rust Installation
Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
resources.
## Writing the Code
Execute the tests with:
```bash
$ cargo test
```
All but the first test have been ignored. After you get the first test to
pass, open the tests source file which is located in the `tests` directory
and remove the `#[ignore]` flag from the next test and get the tests to pass
again. Each separate test is a function with `#[test]` flag above it.
Continue, until you pass every test.
If you wish to run all ignored tests without editing the tests source file, use:
```bash
$ cargo test -- --ignored
```
To run a specific test, for example `some_test`, you can use:
```bash
$ cargo test some_test
```
If the specific test is ignored use:
```bash
$ cargo test some_test -- --ignored
```
To learn more about Rust tests refer to the [online test documentation][rust-tests]
Make sure to read the [Modules][modules] chapter if you
haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.
## Further improvements
After you have solved the exercise, please consider using the additional utilities, described in the [installation guide](https://exercism.io/tracks/rust/installation), to further refine your final solution.
To format your solution, inside the solution directory use
```bash
cargo fmt
```
To see, if your solution contains some common ineffective use cases, inside the solution directory use
```bash
cargo clippy --all-targets
```
## Submitting the solution
Generally you should submit all files in which you implemented your solution (`src/lib.rs` in most cases). If you are using any external crates, please consider submitting the `Cargo.toml` file. This will make the review process faster and clearer.
## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests
