### Rust 'if let' for simple pattern matching

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/control-flow/pattern-matching

Shows how to use the 'if let' construct in Rust for simpler pattern matching scenarios. It's useful when you only need to execute code for a specific pattern and don't need to handle all possible cases, unlike the 'match' keyword. This example checks for a specific enum variant.

```rust
enum State {
    Idle,
    Running,
    Waiting,
}
 
fn print_state(state: State) {
    if let State::Idle = state {
        println!("The system is idle");
    }
}
 
fn main() {
    let state = State::Idle;
    print_state(state);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust `while` Loop

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/control-flow/loops

Presents the `while` loop in Rust, which executes a block of code as long as a given boolean condition remains true. This is ideal for loops where the termination condition is known beforehand.

```rust
fn main() {
    let mut counter = 0;
 
    while counter < 10 {
        println!("{}. Hello, World!", counter + 1);
        counter += 1;
    }
}

```

--------------------------------

### Rust `loop` with `continue`

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/control-flow/loops

Demonstrates using the `continue` keyword within a Rust `loop` to skip the remainder of the current iteration and proceed to the next. This is useful for conditional skipping of loop body execution.

```rust
fn main() {
    let mut counter = 0;
 
    loop {
        counter += 1;
 
        if counter % 2 == 0 {
            continue;
        }
 
        if counter > 9 {
            break;
        }
 
        println!("The number is: {}", counter);
    }
}

```

    let x = 5;
 
    match x {
        1 => println!("One"),
        2 => println!("Two"),
        3 => println!("Three"),
        n if n > 3 => println!("Greater than three"),
        _ => println!("Other"),
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust Nested Loops with Labels (`loop`)

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/control-flow/loops

Explains and demonstrates the use of loop labels in Rust to break out of specific nested loops. Labels allow explicit control over which loop is terminated when `break` is encountered.

```rust
fn main() {
    let mut outer_counter = 0;
    'outer: loop {
        let mut inner_counter = 0;
        'inner: loop {
            println!(
                "Outer loop: {}, Inner loop: {}",
                outer_counter, inner_counter
            );
            if inner_counter == 5 {
                break 'inner; // Exits the inner loop
            }
            if outer_counter == 2 {
                break 'outer; // Exits the outer loop
            }
            inner_counter += 1;
        }
        outer_counter += 1;
    }
}

```

--------------------------------

### Rust Variable Shadowing Example

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/variables

Demonstrates Rust's shadowing feature where a new variable can reuse a name, effectively hiding the previous one. The latest declaration is used in subsequent operations.

```rust
fn main() {
    let x = 5;
 
    let x = x + 1;
 
    let x = x * 2;
 
    println!("The value of x is: {}", x);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust `loop` with `break` Condition

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/control-flow/loops

Shows how to exit a `loop` in Rust using the `break` keyword when a specific condition is met. This prevents infinite execution and allows program termination based on defined criteria.

```rust
fn main() {
    let mut counter = 0;
 
    loop {
        println!("{}. Hello, World!", counter + 1);
 
        counter += 1;
 
        if counter == 10 {
            break;
        }
    }
}

```

--------------------------------

### Rust: Multiple Immutable References Example

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/ownership/borrowing

This Rust code demonstrates the correct usage of multiple immutable references to the same String. The Rust compiler allows multiple immutable references simultaneously because it guarantees that the value will not be modified, thus preventing data races and ensuring safety.

```rust
fn main() {
    let s = String::from("hello");
 
    let r1 = &s;
    let r2 = &s;
 
    println!("r1: {}, r2: {}", r1, r2);
}
```

--------------------------------

### For Loop Over a Range in Rust

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/control-flow/loops

```Rust
fn main() {
    for number in 1..5 {
        println!("The number is: {}", number);
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust `loop` Returning a Value

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/control-flow/loops

Illustrates how a `loop` in Rust can act as an expression, returning a value when the `break` keyword is used with an expression. This allows capturing the result of a loop's computation.

```rust
fn main() {
    let mut counter = 0;
 
    let result = loop {
        counter += 1;
 
        if counter == 10 {
            break counter * 2;
        }
    };
 
    println!("The result is: {}", result);
}

```

--------------------------------

### Rust Variable Scope Example

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/variables

Demonstrates how variables declared within inner blocks are accessible only within those blocks in Rust. When a variable goes out of scope, its memory is freed.

```rust
fn main() {
    let x = 5; // x is valid from this point
 
    {
        let y = 10; // y is valid from this point
 
        println!("The value of y is: {}", y);
    } // y goes out of scope here
 
    println!("The value of x is: {}", x);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust Function with Side Effects (Writing to File)

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/functions

An example of a Rust function that performs a side effect by writing data to a specified file. This function modifies external state (the file system), making its behavior harder to predict.

```rust
fn write_to_file(data: &str, filename: &str) {
    let mut file = File::create(filename).expect("Failed to create file");
    file.write_all(data.as_bytes()).expect("Failed to write to file");
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust If Else Error Example

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/control-flow/if-expressions

Highlights a common compile-time error in Rust when using if/else expressions in a `let` statement where the `if` and `else` blocks return values of different types. This enforces type safety.

```rust
fn main() {
    let condition = true;
 
    let number = if condition {
        10
    } else {
      "hello"
    };
 
    println!("The value of number is: {}", number);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust Type Inference and Annotation Example

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/data-types

Demonstrates how Rust infers the type of a variable (`x` as i32) and how to explicitly annotate a variable's type (`y` as i64). This highlights Rust's static typing and its ability to infer types when possible.

```Rust
fn main() {
    let x = 5; // Type is inferred as i32
    let y: i64 = 10; // Rust will use the type i64 for y
 }
```

--------------------------------

### Rust Variable Scope and Value Dropping

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/ownership/ownership-rules

Demonstrates how variables in Rust have a defined scope. When a variable goes out of scope, its value is dropped, freeing up memory. This example shows nested scopes and when values are no longer valid.

```rust
fn main() {
    let x = 5; // x is valid from this point
    {
        let y = 10; // y is valid from this point
        println!("The value of y is: {}", y);
    } // y goes out of scope here
    println!("The value of x is: {}", x);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Use Random Number Generator in Main Function

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/number-guessing-game

This Rust code integrates the 'generate_random_number' function into the 'main' function. It calls the function to get a random number, stores it in the 'random_number' variable, and then prints this generated number to the console for verification.

```rust
fn main() {
    println!("Number guessing game");

    let random_number = generate_random_number();

    println!("Random number: {}", random_number);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Attempt to Reassign Immutable Variable in Rust (Compile Error)

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/variables

Shows an example where an attempt is made to reassign a value to an immutable variable 'x', resulting in a compile-time error. This highlights Rust's default immutability.

```rust
fn main() {
    let x = 5;
 
    x = 10; // Should cause a compile error
}
```

--------------------------------

### Control Flow in Rust For Loops (Continue and Break)

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/control-flow/loops

Explains that 'continue' and 'break' statements can be used within Rust for loops, similar to other loop types. 'Continue' skips the current iteration, while 'break' exits the loop entirely.

```Rust
// Example demonstrating continue and break would go here, but is not provided in the source text.
// A placeholder comment indicating where such code might be placed.
```

--------------------------------

### Rust: Multiple Mutable References Error Example

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/ownership/borrowing

This Rust code attempts to create two mutable references to the same String and pass them to a function. This will result in a compile-time error due to Rust's rule of only allowing one mutable reference per value in a scope. The compiler prevents this to avoid potential data races.

```rust
fn main() {
    let mut s = String::from("hello");
 
    let r1 = &mut s;
    let r2 = &mut s;
 
    concatenate(r1, r2);
}
 
fn concatenate(s1: &mut String, s2: &mut String) -> String {
    let result = s1.to_string() + s2;
    result
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust String Slice: Get Prefix Before Mutation

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/ownership/strings-and-slices

This Rust code demonstrates how to create a string slice (`prefix`) referencing a portion of a mutable String (`text`). It highlights a common ownership error where a slice is used after the original string it references has been mutated, leading to a compile-time error. This prevents bugs by enforcing Rust's borrowing rules.

```rust
fn get_prefix(t: &str) -> &str {
    for (idx, char) in t.chars().enumerate() {
        if char == ' ' {
            return &t[0..idx];
        }
    }
    &t[..]
}

fn main() {
    let mut text = String::from("good morning");

    let prefix: &str = get_prefix(&text);

    text = format!("Hello {}", text);

    println!("The prefix is: {}", prefix);
    println!("The text is: {}", text);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust Ownership Error: Using Field After Move

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/structs/structs-and-ownership

This example intentionally attempts to use a struct field ('bird.name') after its ownership has been moved to another instance ('new_bird'). This results in a compile-time error, illustrating Rust's strict ownership rules.

```rust
fn main() {
    let bird = Bird {
        name: String::from("Sparrow"),
        age: 2,
    };
 
    let new_bird = Bird {
        name: bird.name,
        age: 3,
    };
 
    println!("The new bird's name is {}", new_bird.name);
    println!("The old bird's name is {}", bird.name);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust Array Slice: Accessing Sub-array Elements

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/ownership/strings-and-slices

This Rust code demonstrates how to create a slice from an array. A slice provides a view into a contiguous sequence of elements within the array without copying the data. This example shows accessing elements from index 1 up to (but not including) index 3.

```rust
fn main() {
    let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

    let slice = &numbers[1..3];

    println!("Slice: {:?}", slice);
}
```

  println!("s is {}", s);
}
 
fn main(){
  let s = String::from("Hello");
 
  print_str(&s);
 
  println!("s is {}", s); // Still can use the value, because we have ownership of it
}
```

--------------------------------

### Define and Use Rust Structs with Named Fields

        println!("The number is less than 5");
    } else {
        println!("The number is greater than or equal to 5");
    }
}
```

```rust
fn main() {
    let number = 10;
 
    if number < 5 {
        println!("The number is less than 5");
    } else {
        println!("The number is greater than or equal to 5");
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust: Data Race - Simultaneous Mutable and Immutable References

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/ownership/borrowing

This Rust code demonstrates a data race scenario where mutable and immutable references to the same String are used concurrently. The Rust compiler prevents this at compile time to ensure data integrity and prevent unexpected changes.

```rust
fn main() {
    let mut s = String::from("hello");
 
    let r1 = &s;
    let r2 = &s;
    let r3 = &mut s;
 
    println!("r1: {}, r2: {}, r3: {}", r1, r2, r3);
}
```

--------------------------------

// Struct with named fields
struct Point {
    name: String,
    x: i32,
    y: i32,
}

// Tuple struct
struct Color(i32, i32, i32);

// Unit struct
struct Empty;

```

--------------------------------

### Accessing Rust Array Elements by Index

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/data-types

Demonstrates how to access individual elements of a Rust array using zero-based indexing. It highlights that Rust will panic at runtime if an out-of-bounds index is accessed, preventing undefined behavior common in other languages.

```rust
fn main() {
    let a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
 
    println!("The first element of a is: {}", a[0]);
    println!("The second element of a is: {}", a[1]);
    println!("The third element of a is: {}", a[2]);
    println!("The fourth element of a is: {}", a[3]);
    println!("The fifth element of a is: {}", a[4]);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust: Compile-Time Safety - Immutable References First, Then Mutable

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/ownership/borrowing

This Rust code demonstrates that mutable borrows are allowed after immutable references have been used, provided the immutable references are not used afterwards. This is safe because the compiler can guarantee the data hasn't changed unexpectedly before the mutable borrow.

```rust
fn main() {
    let mut s = String::from("hello");
 
    let r1 = &s;
    let r2 = &s;
 
    println!("r1: {}, r2: {}", r1, r2);
 
    // Mutable borrow later is fine because the
    // immutable references are not used after this point
    let r3 = &mut s;
 
    println!("r3: {}", r3);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Rust Integer Overflow Behavior (Debug vs. Release)

Source: https://www.rustfinity.com/learn/rust/the-programming-basics/data-types

Demonstrates the difference in integer overflow handling between Rust's debug and release build modes. In debug mode, overflow causes a panic, while in release mode, it results in wraparound arithmetic.

```rust
fn main() {
    // Example of potential overflow if not careful
    let x: u8 = 255;
    // let y = x.checked_add(1).expect("Overflow occurred!"); // This would panic in debug
    // In release, x + 1 would wrap around to 0 for u8
    println!("Max u8 value: {}", x);
}
```
