Rust - While let Statement

A Rust While let Statement in Rust is a special statement that basically refractors and allows us to view a clean code. While let statement was inspired by the if let statement in Rust.

Basically in an, if let statement, there is a pattern match and then the block of code gets executed.

if let Some(n) = option {
   does_something(n);
}

This statement is equivalent to:

match option {
   Some(x) => does_something(n),
   _ => {},
}

While let is also similar to the above example.

In Rust, if we write a pattern match and loop, the expression looks like this:

Example 1: 

fn main()
{
  //gfg -> variable
let mut gfg = "Printing GeeksforGeeks without using while let".chars();
loop {
    match gfg.next() {
        Some(x) => print!("{}", x),
        _ => break,
    }
}
println!("");
}

Output:

Now, using the while let statement in Rust. Using while let makes this code easier to read.

Example 2:

fn main()
{
  //gfg is a variable
let mut gfg = "Printing GeeksforGeeks using while let".chars();
while let Some(x) = gfg.next() {
  //print is a statement that is used to print characters in one line
    print!("{}",x);
  }
println!("\n");
  }

Output:
