rustUsing enum box in Rust


Enums in Rust are a type of data structure that allows you to define a set of named constants. They are useful for representing a fixed set of values, such as the days of the week or the suits in a deck of cards.

Example code:

enum Suit {
    Spades,
    Hearts,
    Diamonds,
    Clubs
}

let my_card = Suit::Spades;

Output:

Suit::Spades

Code parts with detailed explanation:

  • enum Suit: This defines a new enum type called Suit.
  • Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs: These are the four constants that make up the Suit enum.
  • let my_card = Suit::Spades: This creates a variable called my_card and assigns it the value of Suit::Spades.
