-One of the many advantages of `match` is it enforces ‘exhaustiveness checking’. For example if we remove the last arm with the underscore `_`, the compiler will give us an error:

-Rust is telling us that we forgot a value. The compiler infers from `x` that it can have any positive 32bit value; for example 1 to 2,147,483,647. The `_` acts as a 'catch-all', and will catch all possible values that *aren't* specified in an arm of `match`. As you can see with the previous example, we provide `match` arms for integers 1-5, if `x` is 6 or any other value, then it is caught by `_`.

`match` is also an expression, which means we can use it on the right-hand
side of a `let` binding or directly where an expression is used:
};

-Sometimes it’s a nice way of converting something from one type to another; in this example the integers are converted to `String`.

# Matching on enums
Again, the Rust compiler checks exhaustiveness, so it demands that you
have a match arm for every variant of the enum. If you leave one off, it
-will give you a compile-time error unless you use `_` or provide all possible arms.

Unlike the previous uses of `match`, you can’t use the normal `if`
statement to do this. You can use the [`if let`][if-let] statement,
