Guards
A match
guard can be added to filter the arm.
enum Temperature { Celsius(i32), Farenheit(i32), } fn main() { let temperature = Temperature::Celsius(35); // ^ TODO try different values for `temperature` match temperature { Temperature::Celsius(t) if t > 30 => println!("{}C is above 30 Celsius", t), // The `if condition` part ^ is a guard Temperature::Celsius(t) => println!("{}C is below 30 Celsius", t), Temperature::Farenheit(t) if t > 86 => println!("{}F is above 86 Farenheit", t), Temperature::Farenheit(t) => println!("{}F is below 86 Farenheit", t), } }
Note that the compiler won't take guard conditions into account when checking if all patterns are covered by the match expression.
fn main() { let number: u8 = 4; match number { i if i == 0 => println!("Zero"), i if i > 0 => println!("Greater than zero"), // _ => unreachable!("Should never happen."), // TODO ^ uncomment to fix compilation } }
