In Rust, unless is not a direct keyword like it is in some other programming languages. However, you can simulate the unless behavior using the if keyword and a logical negation (!).

Here's an example that demonstrates how to use unless using this technique:

let x = 5;

if !(x > 10) {
println!("x is less than or equal to 10");
}

In this example, the logical negation !(x > 10) evaluates to true because x is not greater than 10. Therefore, the code inside the if block executes and the output is x is less than or equal to 10.

You can also use the else keyword to specify what should happen if the condition evaluates to false. Here's an example:

let x = 5;

if !(x > 10) {
println!("x is less than or equal to 10");
} else {
println!("x is greater than 10");
}

In this example, because x is less than 10, the code inside the if block executes and the output is x is less than or equal to 10.

So, using the logical negation ! with the if keyword allows you to simulate the behavior of unless in Rust.
