Wtf does this do

This repository contains a simple program called "fizz buzz," written in the Rust programming language. It's a classic beginner coding exercise that prints out numbers and replaces certain ones with the words "Fizz" and "Buzz." The program works by counting up through numbers one at a time. When it hits a number divisible by three, it prints "Fizz" instead of the number. When it hits a number divisible by five, it prints "Buzz." If a number is divisible by both three and five, it prints "FizzBuzz." People typically use this kind of project to practice the basics of a new programming language. A beginner learning Rust, or someone evaluating the language's syntax, might write this to get familiar with how Rust handles basic logic, loops, and printing output to the screen. The README doesn't go into detail about specific features or design choices, so it's best understood as a straightforward learning exercise rather than a tool meant for production use. It's a simple, self-contained demonstration of fundamental programming concepts.
