Keywords

use - is used for importing. E.g., use std::num::ParseIntError

let - initializes something immutable. E.g., let x: usize = 10;

mut - makes something mutable. E.g., let mut x: usize = 10;

fn - defines a function. This is analogous to Pythons def keyword. E.g.,

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

struct - defines a struct. This is kind of analogous to class in Python. E.g.,

struct MyStruct {
    field1: usize,
    field2: f32,
    field3: bool,
}

enum - defines an enum. This is kind of analogous to Enum in Python. E.g.,

enum MyEnum {
    Choice1,
    Choice2,
    Choice3,
}

pub - makes something like a function or struct public, meaning that other rust files can access then. E.g.,

pub struct MyStruct {
    field1: usize,
    field2: f32,
    field3: bool,
}

loop - creates an infinite loop until a break statement is encountered. E.g.,

fn main() {
    let mut x: usize = 0;

    loop{
        x += 1;

        println!("{x}");

        if x >= 5{
            break;
        }
    }
}

for - creates a loop over an iterator. E.g.,

fn main() {
    for i in (0..5){
        println!("{i}");
    }
}

while - creates a loop (similar to loop) that terminates when a break statement is encountered. E.g.,

fn main() {
    let mut x: usize = 0;

    while x <= 5 {
        println!("{x}");
        x += 1;
    }
}
