```
### Control flow
```rust
if x == 1 [
print "x is 1";
] else if x == 2 [
print "x is 2";
] else
print "x is neither 1 nor 2";
```
```rust
while x < 10 [
print x;
x = x + 1;
]
```
```rust
for let i = 0; i < 10; i = i + 1 [
print i;
]
```
### Functions
```rust
fn is_even(a) [
return a % 2 == 0;
]
print is_even(10); # true
print is_even(15); # false
```
### Shadowing
```rust
let x = 1;
let x = 2;
print x; # 2
```
