Rust conditionals
From wikinotes
if statement
if num < 5 { // .. } else if { // .. } else { // .. }
Ternary operator
let weather = if season == "fall" { "lovely" } else { "fine I guess" } // ternary
Pattern Matching
Like a switch statement,
but the compiler ensures the entire valid range of items is checked for.
especially useful for enums.In the following case, if
_
was omitted
you'd need to ensure the full range of possible i32 numbers were supported!.// if num is '1', returns 'a' // if num is >2, returns 'c' let result = match num { 1 => "a", 2 => "b", _ => "c", // anything other than 1 or 2 }
