Demo: Basics of control flow

- [Instructor] Now let's work with the basics of control flow in Rust. As always, we'll have a main function and we'll do some simple execution here with a VS code. You'll see that Rust analyzer allows me to have these run or debug control here. Now what do we have here? Well, we've assigned the variable and then we are doing simple if or else, you can see here that we have the curly brackets, we've mentioned curly brackets before. Those denote the scope.
