I don't know much about rust, but I am just curious why the last line doesn't have a "return" keyword? Does it just assume the last line is the value to return? Could you include the "return" keyword if you wanted?

If there is no `;` then the last statement is considered the return value. You can include the return if you want but then you also need the `;` at the end.

It is intuitive, once you realise all statements you can write in functions are expressions, even if they evaluate to the unit type

"intuitive" is often meant to be "you know how it works just by looking at it briefly"
