+% Match
+
+<small>There is a new edition of the book and this is an old link.</small>
+
+> `match` allows us to compare a value against a series of patterns and then execute code based on which pattern matches.
+> Patterns can be made up of literal values, variable names, wildcards, and many other things.

+```rust
+enum Coin {
+ Penny,
+ Nickel,
+ Dime,
+ Quarter,
+}
+
+fn value_in_cents(coin: Coin) -> u32 {
+ match coin {
+ Coin::Penny => 1,
+ Coin::Nickel => 5,
+ Coin::Dime => 10,
+ Coin::Quarter => 25,
+ }
+}
