# Nth Prime
Welcome to Nth Prime on Exercism's Rust Track.
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
## Instructions
Given a number n, determine what the nth prime is.
By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6th prime is 13.
If your language provides methods in the standard library to deal with prime numbers, pretend they don't exist and implement them yourself.
Remember that while people commonly count with 1-based indexing (i.e. "the 6th prime is 13"), many programming languages, including Rust, use 0-based indexing (i.e. `primes[5] == 13`). Use 0-based indexing for your implementation.
