fn main(){
    println!("hello world!");

save into main.rs and run it by rustc main.rs | ./main

With Cargo

Looping

Infinite `loop`

use infinite loop

    let mut n = 0;
    loop {
        n += 1;
        if n == 5 {
            continue;
        }
        if n == 10 {
            break;
        }

        println!("infinite loop {}", n);
    }

    let nums = 1..6;
    for i in nums {
        println!("{}", i);
    }

    let animals = vec!["cat", "dog", "mouse"];
    for animal in animals.iter() {
        println!("{}", animal);
    }

    let dog = animals[1];
    println!("{}", dog);

note:

use 1..=6 if want to count 6
if .iter() removed, line let dog = animals[1]; will be error

if we want to iter index of the array, use enumerate()

    for (index, animal) in animals.iter().enumerate() {
    println!("{}: {}", index, animal);
    }

Enum

outside main func create enum like this:

1
2
3
4

6


    enum Direction {
        Up,
        Down,
        Left,
        Right,
    }

to access variant in enum, we use double collon ::. Put this in the main func

let player_direction: Direction = Direction::Up;

match player_direction {
    Direction::Up => println!("Moving up"),
    Direction::Down => println!("Moving down"),
    Direction::Left => println!("Moving left"),
    Direction::Right => println!("Moving right"),
}

Constant

constant should be upper-snack case like this

1

const MAX_NUM: u32 = 10;
