Understanding these concepts is crucial for writing any meaningful Rust program.</p> <h2 id="variables-and-mutability">Variables and Mutability</h2> <p>In Rust, variables are used to store data. By default, variables are <strong>immutable</strong>, meaning once a value is bound to a variable, it cannot be changed. This promotes safer code by making it harder to introduce unexpected side effects.</p>https://ai-blog.noorshomelab.dev/rust-guide/core-concepts-control-flow-functions/Sat, 25 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://ai-blog.noorshomelab.dev/rust-guide/core-concepts-control-flow-functions/<h1 id="core-concepts-control-flow-and-functions">Core Concepts: Control Flow and Functions</h1> <p>Every useful program needs to be able to make decisions and repeat actions. This chapter introduces you to Rust&rsquo;s control flow constructs (<code>if</code> expressions, <code>loop</code>, <code>while</code>, <code>for</code>) and how to write reusable blocks of code using functions.</p> <h2 id="control-flow">Control Flow</h2> <p>Control flow determines the order in which statements are executed in a program.</p> <h3 id="if-expressions"><code>if</code> Expressions</h3> <p>The <code>if</code> expression allows you to execute code conditionally. The condition must always be a <code>bool</code> (boolean) type. Rust does not implicitly convert non-boolean types to booleans.</p>
