Pattern MatchingAdvanced
1Question 1 of 1
rustHow does Pattern Matching work with match and if let in Rust?
Explanation & Concept
`match` in Rust provides exhaustive pattern matching. Every possible branch must be handled or the compiler rejects the code.
`if let` provides ergonomic matching for single pattern branches.
Code Example
rust
enum Coin {
Penny,
Nickel,
Dime,
Quarter(String), // Variant with inner data
}
fn value_in_cents(coin: Coin) -> u8 {
match coin {
Coin::Penny => 1,
Coin::Nickel => 5,
Coin::Dime => 10,
Coin::Quarter(state) => {
println!("Quarter from state: {}", state);
25
}
}
}How It Works & Key Takeaways
Rust patterns can destructure structs, tuples, and enums with compiler-enforced completeness.
