Chaining and iterators over I/O

In this section, we'll look at how to use iterators and chaining with the std::io module.

Many of the data structures provided by the std::io module have built-in iterators. Iterators let you process a series of items, such as lines in a file or incoming network connections on a port. They provide a nicer mechanism compared to while and for loops. Here is an example of using the lines() iterator with the BufReader struct, which is a part of the std::io module. This program reads lines from the standard input stream in a loop:

use std::io::{BufRead, BufReader};
fn main() {
    // Create handle to standard input
    let s = std::io::stdin();
    //Create a BufReader instance to optimize sys calls
    let file_reader = BufReader::new(s);
    // Read from standard input line-by-line
    for single_line in file_reader.lines(...
