Rust 101 – 6: Structs and Enums
Share on Mastodon
Continuing our review of the things you need in Rust to write programs – grouping together data using structs, and allowing multiple possibilities with enums. We look at how to decide which thing you’ve got with the match keyword, and review a very popular enum called Option, which lets you say either you’ve got something, or you’ve got nothing.
