// arc1.rs
// In this exercise, we are given a Vec of u32 called "numbers" with values ranging
// from 0 to 99 -- [ 0, 1, 2, ..., 98, 99 ]
// We would like to use this set of numbers within 8 different threads simultaneously.
// Each thread is going to get the sum of every eighth value, with an offset.
// The first thread (offset 0), will sum 0, 8, 16, ...
// The second thread (offset 1), will sum 1, 9, 17, ...
// The third thread (offset 2), will sum 2, 10, 18, ...
// ...
// The eighth thread (offset 7), will sum 7, 15, 23, ...
// Because we are using threads, our values need to be thread-safe. Therefore,
// we are using Arc. We need to make a change in each of the two TODOs.
// Make this code compile by filling in a value for `shared_numbers` where the
// TODO comment is and create an initial binding for `child_numbers`
// somewhere. Try not to create any copies of the `numbers` Vec!
// first TODO comment is, and create an initial binding for `child_numbers`
// where the second TODO comment is. Try not to create any copies of the `numbers` Vec!
// Execute `rustlings hint arc1` for hints :)
// I AM NOT DONE

`child_numbers` should be a clone of the Arc of the numbers instead of a

thread-local copy of the numbers.
This is a simple exercise if you understand the underlying concepts, but if this
is too much of a struggle, consider reading through all of Chapter 16 in the book:
