• Tuple structs, which are, basically, named tuples.
• The classic C structs
• Unit structs, which are field-less, are useful for generics.

1. Add a function rect_area which calculates the area of a rectangle (try using nested destructuring).
2. Add a function square which takes a Point and a f32 as arguments, and returns a Rectangle with its lower left corner on the point, and a width and height corresponding to the f32.
attributes, and destructuring
The enum keyword allows the creation of a type which may be one of a few different variants. Any variant which is valid as a struct is also valid as an enum.
// Create an `enum` to classify a web event. Note how both
// names and type information together specify the variant:
// `PageLoad != PageUnload` and `KeyPress(char) != Paste(String)`.
// Each is different and independent.
enum WebEvent {
// An `enum` may either be `unit-like`,
PageLoad,
PageUnload,
// like tuple structs,
KeyPress(char),
Paste(String),
// or c-like structures.
Click { x: i64, y: i64 },
}
// A function which takes a `WebEvent` enum as an argument and
// returns nothing.
fn inspect(event: WebEvent) {
match event {
WebEvent::PageLoad => println!("page loaded"),
WebEvent::PageUnload => println!("page unloaded"),
// Destructure `c` from inside the `enum`.
WebEvent::KeyPress(c) => println!("pressed '{}'.", c),
WebEvent::Paste(s) => println!("pasted \"{}\".", s),
// Destructure `Click` into `x` and `y`.
WebEvent::Click { x, y } => {
println!("clicked at x={}, y={}.", x, y);
},
}
}
fn main() {
let pressed = WebEvent::KeyPress('x');
// `to_owned()` creates an owned `String` from a string slice.
let pasted = WebEvent::Paste("my text".to_owned());
let click = WebEvent::Click { x: 20, y: 80 };
let load = WebEvent::PageLoad;
let unload = WebEvent::PageUnload;
inspect(pressed);
inspect(pasted);
inspect(click);
inspect(load);
inspect(unload);

If you use a type alias, you can refer to each enum variant via its alias. This might be useful if the enum's name is too long or too generic, and you want to rename it.
