We’ve covered Enums, Pattern Matching, Methods and Type Parameters under this section. We’ve come across several new keywords of Rust Language.

Summary of Pattern Matching section in The Rust Programming Language
Summary of Pattern Matching section in The Rust Programming Language

We’ve understood how we can define enum and it’s variants. We also understood how we can use namespace :: to access variants.

We also did pattern matching using enum and writing conditions for all the variants of the enum. We understood the use case of _ which is used for catch all condition for variants of the enum that are not covered under match.

We saw how we can define methods on the enum using impl keyword. We understood the use of self and Self keyword.

And finally, we saw how Type Parameters like Option and Result could help us write code which covers all the positive as well as negative sides of handling values during runtime.

I hope you enjoyed the series of Pattern Matching. Please share your feedback in the comments section.
