Usage

Here is a possible test for your function:

use lucas_number::lucas_number;

fn main() {
    println!("The element in the position {} in Lucas Numbres is {}", 2, lucas_number(2));
    println!("The element in the position {} in Lucas Numbres is {}", 5, lucas_number(5));
    println!("The element in the position {} in Lucas Numbres is {}", 10, lucas_number(10));
    println!("The element in the position {} in Lucas Numbres is {}", 13, lucas_number(13));
}

And its output:

$ cargo run
The element in the position 2 in Lucas Numbers is 3
The element in the position 5 in Lucas Numbers is 11
The element in the position 10 in Lucas Numbers is 123
The element in the position 13 in Lucas Numbers is 521
