Control Flow

If else

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
    let number = 3;
    let result = if number < 5 {
        // condition must return a bool; `if` is an expression
        println!("condition was true");
        5
    } else {
        println!("condition was false");
        6
    };
    println!("{}", result);
}

Also else if <cond> { ... }

Loop

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
    let mut counter = 0;

    let result = loop {
        counter += 1;

        if counter == 10 {
            break counter * 2;
            // `continue` and loop labels also exist:
            // https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch03-05-control-flow.html
        }
    };
    println!("{}", result);
}

While

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
    let mut number = 5;
    while number != 0 {
        println!("{number}!");
        number -= 1;
    }
}

For

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
    let a = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];

    for element in a {
        println!("the value is: {element}");
    }

    // Range - generates all numbers in sequence
    // starting from one number and ending before another number.
    for number in (1..4).rev() {
        // reverse enumeration
        println!("{number}!");
    }
}
