+[[Rust]]
+
+This looks like a regular function call but then followed by a block of code. It is called a match expression. A match expression consists of arms, that are the pattern to match and the code to execute.
+
+For example if a function returns an enum it is a nice way to write each case, it is somewhat similar to a switch statement.
+
+```rust
+guess.cmp(&secret_number) {
+    Ordering::Less => println!("Too small!"),
+    Ordering::Greater => println!("Too big!"),
+    Ordering::Equal => println!("You win!!"),
+}
+```
