Rust Loop

Rust loop

Looping in Rust is a fundamental concept that allows you to execute a block of code repeatedly. Rust provides several types of loops, including loop, while, and for loops. Each type serves different scenarios depending on the requirements of your program.

fn main() {
    // Infinite loop using `loop`
    let mut count = 0;
    loop {
        count += 1;
        println!("Count: {}", count);
        if count >= 5 {
            break;
        }
    }
}

While loops in Rust continue executing as long as a specified condition remains true. This type of loop is useful when the number of iterations is not known beforehand and relies on a dynamic condition.

fn main() {
    let mut number = 0;
    while number < 5 {
        println!("Number: {}", number);
        number += 1;
    }
}

For loops are particularly handy when you need to iterate over a collection or a range of numbers. It simplifies the syntax and handles initialization and incrementing automatically.

fn main() {
    for number in 0..5 {
        println!("Number: {}", number);
    }
}

You can also combine loops with other control flow structures like if to create more complex behaviors. The following example demonstrates using an if statement inside a for loop to print only even numbers.

fn main() {
    for number in 0..10 {
        if number % 2 == 0 {
            println!("Even number: {}", number);
        }
    }
}
