 # Statements and expressions

 Rust is _primarily_ an expression language. This means that most forms of value-producing or effect-causing evaluation are directed by the uniform syntax category of _expressions_. Each kind of expression can typically _nest_ within each other kind of expression, and rules for evaluation of expressions involve specifying both the value produced by the expression and the order in which its sub-expressions are themselves evaluated.

 In contrast, statements serve _mostly_ to contain and explicitly sequence expression evaluation.
