If

% if

<small>There is a new edition of the book and this is an old link.</small>

An if expression allows us to branch our code depending on conditions.

fn main() {
    let number = 3;

    if number < 5 {
        println!("condition was true");
    } else {
        println!("condition was false");
    }
}
