match
Rust provides pattern matching via the match
keyword, which can be used like
a C switch
.
fn main() { let number = 13; // TODO ^ Try different values for `number` println!("Tell me about {}", number); match number { // Match a single value 1 => println!("One!"), // Match several values 2 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 11 => println!("This is a prime"), // Match an inclusive range 13..=19 => println!("A teen"), // Handle the rest of cases _ => println!("Ain't special"), } let boolean = true; // Match is an expression too let binary = match boolean { // The arms of a match must cover all the possible values false => 0, true => 1, // TODO ^ Try commenting out one of these arms }; println!("{} -> {}", boolean, binary); }
