Unpacking Values from Strings and Tuples

Pattern matching is useful for extracting parts of values to variables in a process called destructuring. It’s the primary tool to get part of a string, an item from a list, and a value from the map.

This section will explore pattern matching with several data types and see how we can extract values and make more complex matches.
