Rust Tutorial #7 - Conditions and Control Flow (if/else if/else)

Hello everybody and welcome to video number seven in this Rust Programming tutorial series. In this video I will be going over conditions, compound conditions, and control flow so if elseif and else. I know many of you are already familiar with these topics or most likely you've seen other programming languages before, so I will go relatively quickly and just show you the core operators and syntax and all that. Enjoy!

finally! I have been waiting for this video for a week. Thanks for introducing Rust to us and making our lives easier.

Not me coming from a c, javascript background where we have and, or as &&, || respectively and actually enjoying this.

You should talk about the "match" statement for flow of control. It's how I've seen most real-world rust programs work:

fn main() {
let food = "cookie";

match food {
"cookie" => println!("Yummy cookie"),
"bread" => println!("boring"),
_=> println!("that's too bad")
}

Thanks so much for helping me how to program on rust! I hope you will feel the greatest soon :)

Very very similar to Action Scripts. Same format almost 100% the same. Love it! Super easy to transition from that if you have experience with AS3.

videos are terrific, thx! The background music is a bit distracting tho.

[logvoid]

Thanks so much for always releasing free great educational content!

I am a bit confused by the conditions example (2:00). You compare 2(which is an f32) and 2.2(which, by default, is an f64), so shouldn't this throw an error?

[mariofix]

Really great videos, you have a new subscriber.
One question though, at 9:37 you missed a colon at the else if statements, but the compiler didn't complained, why is that?

[pravachanpatra]

Tim can you collab with Tiff in Tech. I asked her this question and she said she took one of your tutorials awhile ago.

[raashidansari]

What is the font that you use Tim? I really like how "fn", "let", and "f32" look different than the rest of the code.

Every time you forget a semicolon I die a little inside. I’m like “you can do, you can learn!”

[kenholt]

Does Rust have an "excluse or" operator?

[bhavjeetsinghmoyal]

How to I use the input command with if else if and else? I had a problem of only else being printed and every word and indent is correct

[kjlw]

Question... Is rust like so many other C-inspired languages, where rust doesn't really care if the brackets are lined up like I prefer or, what feels to me like off-balance and hard to read(I'm sure it's only b/c I'm not used to it though) on separate columns??

[lsatenstein]

I noticed that some statements have no terminating semi-colon. Is the semicolon only for let statements?

[CallousCoder]

Else if is so yukkie!!! Avoid an else if! Either use guard clauses or in rust you can use the match block

[n.m]

Lack of parenthesis in keywords like (if for while) is really stupid

[Keolamation]

rust is SUPPEERRR similar to C#. noice, only thing thats annoying is C# has lists and rust doesnt? which makes the rust rules on arrays kinda gey...
