In a similar fashion, `while let` can be used when you want to conditionally
loop as long as a value matches a certain pattern. It turns code like this:

"no sugar" version of the while let over v.pop() looks like

let mut v = vec![1, 3, 5, 7, 11];
loop {
    match v.pop() {
        Some(x) =>  println!("{}", x),
        None => break,
    }
}


```rust
# let option: Option<i32> = None;
while let Some(x) = option {
let mut v = vec![1, 3, 5, 7, 11];
while let Some(x) = v.pop() {
println!("{}", x);
}
