Hi guys. I have a code base which pretty much looks like above. I am writing a code which is used to simulate particles. I am using a 2nd order integrator (Numerical stuff). Which makes my functions (or equations) run twice for better accuracy.

Is there a way to make this clean and not repetitive?

Thank you.

What's wrong with a loop?

for _ in 0..2 { /* code that repeats */ }

I just updated it. Actually I have to run few equations (functions) and call stage 1 ( update_1 ) then again run the same equations and call stage 2 ( update_2 ).

You should consider refactoring the repetitive calls into a function... Rust Playground

It makes a big difference aesthetically in this case, since you have a lot of vertical stacks of function arguments. But those arguments nicely fit on a single line, anyway, so that's another way to reduce the visual noise, here.
