# Other style advice
## Expressions
Prefer to use Rust's expression oriented nature where possible;
```rust
// use
let x = if y { 1 } else { 0 };
// not
let x;
if y {
x = 1;
} else {
x = 0;
}
```
## Names
* Types shall be `UpperCamelCase`,
* Enum variants shall be `UpperCamelCase`,
* Struct fields shall be `snake_case`,
* Function and method names shall be `snake_case`,
* Local variables shall be `snake_case`,
* Macro names shall be `snake_case`,
* Constants (`const`s and immutable `static`s) shall be `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE`.
* When a name is forbidden because it is a reserved word (e.g., `crate`), use a
trailing underscore to make the name legal (e.g., `crate_`), or use raw
identifiers if possible.
### Modules
Avoid `#[path]` annotations where possible.
