Enums and Structures

Structures can have an item that is of type enum.

  • Syntax

The following illustration explains the syntax:

  • Example

The following example creates an enum KnightMove and a struct Player.

  // make this `enum` printable with `fmt::Debug`.

#[derive(Debug)]

//define an enum

enum KnightMove{

   Horizontal, Vertical

}

#[derive(Debug)]

// make this `struct` print values of type `enum`  with `fmt::Debug`.

struct Player {

   color:String,

   knight:KnightMove

}

fn main() {

      // instance 1

      let p1 = Player{

      color:String::from("black"),

      knight:KnightMove::Horizontal

   };

      // instance 2

      let p2 = Player{

      color:String::from("white"),

      knight:KnightMove::Vertical

   };

   println!("{:?}", p1);

   println!("{:?}", p2);

}
  

output

  Player { color: "black", knight: Horizontal }
Player { color: "white", knight: Vertical }
