1 //! Error handling with the `Result` type.
3 //! [`Result<T, E>`][`Result`] is the type used for returning and propagating
4 //! errors. It is an enum with the variants, [`Ok(T)`], representing
5 //! success and containing a value, and [`Err(E)`], representing error
6 //! and containing an error value.
9 //! # #[allow(dead_code)]
10 //! enum Result<T, E> {
16 //! Functions return [`Result`] whenever errors are expected and
17 //! recoverable. In the `std` crate, [`Result`] is most prominently used
18 //! for [I/O](../../std/io/index.html).
20 //! A simple function returning [`Result`] might be
21 //! defined and used like so:
25 //! enum Version { Version1, Version2 }
27 //! fn parse_version(header: &[u8]) -> Result<Version, &'static str> {
28 //! match header.get(0) {
29 //! None => Err("invalid header length"),
30 //! Some(&1) => Ok(Version::Version1),
31 //! Some(&2) => Ok(Version::Version2),
32 //! Some(_) => Err("invalid version"),
36 //! let version = parse_version(&[1, 2, 3, 4]);
38 //! Ok(v) => println!("working with version: {v:?}"),
39 //! Err(e) => println!("error parsing header: {e:?}"),
43 //! Pattern matching on [`Result`]s is clear and straightforward for
44 //! simple cases, but [`Result`] comes with some convenience methods
45 //! that make working with it more succinct.
48 //! let good_result: Result<i32, i32> = Ok(10);
49 //! let bad_result: Result<i32, i32> = Err(10);
51 //! // The `is_ok` and `is_err` methods do what they say.
52 //! assert!(good_result.is_ok() && !good_result.is_err());
53 //! assert!(bad_result.is_err() && !bad_result.is_ok());
55 //! // `map` consumes the `Result` and produces another.
56 //! let good_result: Result<i32, i32> = good_result.map(|i| i + 1);
57 //! let bad_result: Result<i32, i32> = bad_result.map(|i| i - 1);
59 //! // Use `and_then` to continue the computation.
60 //! let good_result: Result<bool, i32> = good_result.and_then(|i| Ok(i == 11));
62 //! // Use `or_else` to handle the error.
63 //! let bad_result: Result<i32, i32> = bad_result.or_else(|i| Ok(i + 20));
65 //! // Consume the result and return the contents with `unwrap`.
66 //! let final_awesome_result = good_result.unwrap();
69 //! # Results must be used
71 //! A common problem with using return values to indicate errors is
72 //! that it is easy to ignore the return value, thus failing to handle
73 //! the error. [`Result`] is annotated with the `#[must_use]` attribute,
74 //! which will cause the compiler to issue a warning when a Result
75 //! value is ignored. This makes [`Result`] especially useful with
76 //! functions that may encounter errors but don't otherwise return a
79 //! Consider the [`write_all`] method defined for I/O types
80 //! by the [`Write`] trait:
86 //! fn write_all(&mut self, bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<(), io::Error>;
90 //! *Note: The actual definition of [`Write`] uses [`io::Result`], which
91 //! is just a synonym for <code>[Result]<T, [io::Error]></code>.*
93 //! This method doesn't produce a value, but the write may
94 //! fail. It's crucial to handle the error case, and *not* write
95 //! something like this:
98 //! # #![allow(unused_must_use)] // \o/
99 //! use std::fs::File;
100 //! use std::io::prelude::*;
102 //! let mut file = File::create("valuable_data.txt").unwrap();
103 //! // If `write_all` errors, then we'll never know, because the return
104 //! // value is ignored.
105 //! file.write_all(b"important message");
108 //! If you *do* write that in Rust, the compiler will give you a
109 //! warning (by default, controlled by the `unused_must_use` lint).
111 //! You might instead, if you don't want to handle the error, simply
112 //! assert success with [`expect`]. This will panic if the
113 //! write fails, providing a marginally useful message indicating why:
116 //! use std::fs::File;
117 //! use std::io::prelude::*;
119 //! let mut file = File::create("valuable_data.txt").unwrap();
120 //! file.write_all(b"important message").expect("failed to write message");
123 //! You might also simply assert success:
126 //! # use std::fs::File;
127 //! # use std::io::prelude::*;
128 //! # let mut file = File::create("valuable_data.txt").unwrap();
129 //! assert!(file.write_all(b"important message").is_ok());
132 //! Or propagate the error up the call stack with [`?`]:
135 //! # use std::fs::File;
136 //! # use std::io::prelude::*;
138 //! # #[allow(dead_code)]
139 //! fn write_message() -> io::Result<()> {
140 //! let mut file = File::create("valuable_data.txt")?;
141 //! file.write_all(b"important message")?;
146 //! # The question mark operator, `?`
148 //! When writing code that calls many functions that return the
149 //! [`Result`] type, the error handling can be tedious. The question mark
150 //! operator, [`?`], hides some of the boilerplate of propagating errors
151 //! up the call stack.
153 //! It replaces this:
156 //! # #![allow(dead_code)]
157 //! use std::fs::File;
158 //! use std::io::prelude::*;
167 //! fn write_info(info: &Info) -> io::Result<()> {
168 //! // Early return on error
169 //! let mut file = match File::create("my_best_friends.txt") {
170 //! Err(e) => return Err(e),
173 //! if let Err(e) = file.write_all(format!("name: {}\n", info.name).as_bytes()) {
176 //! if let Err(e) = file.write_all(format!("age: {}\n", info.age).as_bytes()) {
179 //! if let Err(e) = file.write_all(format!("rating: {}\n", info.rating).as_bytes()) {
189 //! # #![allow(dead_code)]
190 //! use std::fs::File;
191 //! use std::io::prelude::*;
200 //! fn write_info(info: &Info) -> io::Result<()> {
201 //! let mut file = File::create("my_best_friends.txt")?;
202 //! // Early return on error
203 //! file.write_all(format!("name: {}\n", info.name).as_bytes())?;
204 //! file.write_all(format!("age: {}\n", info.age).as_bytes())?;
205 //! file.write_all(format!("rating: {}\n", info.rating).as_bytes())?;
210 //! *It's much nicer!*
212 //! Ending the expression with [`?`] will result in the unwrapped
213 //! success ([`Ok`]) value, unless the result is [`Err`], in which case
214 //! [`Err`] is returned early from the enclosing function.
216 //! [`?`] can only be used in functions that return [`Result`] because of the
217 //! early return of [`Err`] that it provides.

228 //! # Method overview
230 //! In addition to working with pattern matching, [`Result`] provides a
231 //! wide variety of different methods.
233 //! ## Querying the variant
235 //! The [`is_ok`] and [`is_err`] methods return [`true`] if the [`Result`]
236 //! is [`Ok`] or [`Err`], respectively.
238 //! [`is_err`]: Result::is_err
239 //! [`is_ok`]: Result::is_ok
241 //! ## Adapters for working with references
243 //! * [`as_ref`] converts from `&Result<T, E>` to `Result<&T, &E>`
244 //! * [`as_mut`] converts from `&mut Result<T, E>` to `Result<&mut T, &mut E>`
245 //! * [`as_deref`] converts from `&Result<T, E>` to `Result<&T::Target, &E>`
246 //! * [`as_deref_mut`] converts from `&mut Result<T, E>` to
247 //! `Result<&mut T::Target, &mut E>`
249 //! [`as_deref`]: Result::as_deref
250 //! [`as_deref_mut`]: Result::as_deref_mut
251 //! [`as_mut`]: Result::as_mut
252 //! [`as_ref`]: Result::as_ref
254 //! ## Extracting contained values
256 //! These methods extract the contained value in a [`Result<T, E>`] when it
257 //! is the [`Ok`] variant. If the [`Result`] is [`Err`]:
259 //! * [`expect`] panics with a provided custom message
260 //! * [`unwrap`] panics with a generic message
261 //! * [`unwrap_or`] returns the provided default value
262 //! * [`unwrap_or_default`] returns the default value of the type `T`
263 //! (which must implement the [`Default`] trait)
264 //! * [`unwrap_or_else`] returns the result of evaluating the provided
267 //! The panicking methods [`expect`] and [`unwrap`] require `E` to
268 //! implement the [`Debug`] trait.
270 //! [`Debug`]: crate::fmt::Debug
271 //! [`expect`]: Result::expect
272 //! [`unwrap`]: Result::unwrap
273 //! [`unwrap_or`]: Result::unwrap_or
274 //! [`unwrap_or_default`]: Result::unwrap_or_default
275 //! [`unwrap_or_else`]: Result::unwrap_or_else
277 //! These methods extract the contained value in a [`Result<T, E>`] when it
278 //! is the [`Err`] variant. They require `T` to implement the [`Debug`]
279 //! trait. If the [`Result`] is [`Ok`]:
281 //! * [`expect_err`] panics with a provided custom message
282 //! * [`unwrap_err`] panics with a generic message
284 //! [`Debug`]: crate::fmt::Debug
285 //! [`expect_err`]: Result::expect_err
286 //! [`unwrap_err`]: Result::unwrap_err
288 //! ## Transforming contained values
290 //! These methods transform [`Result`] to [`Option`]:
292 //! * [`err`][Result::err] transforms [`Result<T, E>`] into [`Option<E>`],
293 //! mapping [`Err(e)`] to [`Some(e)`] and [`Ok(v)`] to [`None`]
294 //! * [`ok`][Result::ok] transforms [`Result<T, E>`] into [`Option<T>`],
295 //! mapping [`Ok(v)`] to [`Some(v)`] and [`Err(e)`] to [`None`]
296 //! * [`transpose`] transposes a [`Result`] of an [`Option`] into an
297 //! [`Option`] of a [`Result`]
299 // Do NOT add link reference definitions for `err` or `ok`, because they
300 // will generate numerous incorrect URLs for `Err` and `Ok` elsewhere, due
305 //! [`Some(e)`]: Option::Some
306 //! [`Some(v)`]: Option::Some
307 //! [`transpose`]: Result::transpose
309 //! This method transforms the contained value of the [`Ok`] variant:
311 //! * [`map`] transforms [`Result<T, E>`] into [`Result<U, E>`] by applying
312 //! the provided function to the contained value of [`Ok`] and leaving
313 //! [`Err`] values unchanged
315 //! [`map`]: Result::map
317 //! This method transforms the contained value of the [`Err`] variant:
319 //! * [`map_err`] transforms [`Result<T, E>`] into [`Result<T, F>`] by
320 //! applying the provided function to the contained value of [`Err`] and
321 //! leaving [`Ok`] values unchanged
323 //! [`map_err`]: Result::map_err
325 //! These methods transform a [`Result<T, E>`] into a value of a possibly
326 //! different type `U`:
328 //! * [`map_or`] applies the provided function to the contained value of
329 //! [`Ok`], or returns the provided default value if the [`Result`] is
331 //! * [`map_or_else`] applies the provided function to the contained value
332 //! of [`Ok`], or applies the provided default fallback function to the
333 //! contained value of [`Err`]
335 //! [`map_or`]: Result::map_or
336 //! [`map_or_else`]: Result::map_or_else
338 //! ## Boolean operators
340 //! These methods treat the [`Result`] as a boolean value, where [`Ok`]
341 //! acts like [`true`] and [`Err`] acts like [`false`]. There are two
342 //! categories of these methods: ones that take a [`Result`] as input, and
343 //! ones that take a function as input (to be lazily evaluated).
345 //! The [`and`] and [`or`] methods take another [`Result`] as input, and
346 //! produce a [`Result`] as output. The [`and`] method can produce a
347 //! [`Result<U, E>`] value having a different inner type `U` than
348 //! [`Result<T, E>`]. The [`or`] method can produce a [`Result<T, F>`]
349 //! value having a different error type `F` than [`Result<T, E>`].
351 //! | method | self | input | output |
352 //! |---------|----------|-----------|----------|
353 //! | [`and`] | `Err(e)` | (ignored) | `Err(e)` |
354 //! | [`and`] | `Ok(x)` | `Err(d)` | `Err(d)` |
355 //! | [`and`] | `Ok(x)` | `Ok(y)` | `Ok(y)` |
356 //! | [`or`] | `Err(e)` | `Err(d)` | `Err(d)` |
357 //! | [`or`] | `Err(e)` | `Ok(y)` | `Ok(y)` |
358 //! | [`or`] | `Ok(x)` | (ignored) | `Ok(x)` |
360 //! [`and`]: Result::and
361 //! [`or`]: Result::or
363 //! The [`and_then`] and [`or_else`] methods take a function as input, and
364 //! only evaluate the function when they need to produce a new value. The
365 //! [`and_then`] method can produce a [`Result<U, E>`] value having a
366 //! different inner type `U` than [`Result<T, E>`]. The [`or_else`] method
367 //! can produce a [`Result<T, F>`] value having a different error type `F`
368 //! than [`Result<T, E>`].
370 //! | method | self | function input | function result | output |
371 //! |--------------|----------|----------------|-----------------|----------|
372 //! | [`and_then`] | `Err(e)` | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | `Err(e)` |
373 //! | [`and_then`] | `Ok(x)` | `x` | `Err(d)` | `Err(d)` |
374 //! | [`and_then`] | `Ok(x)` | `x` | `Ok(y)` | `Ok(y)` |
375 //! | [`or_else`] | `Err(e)` | `e` | `Err(d)` | `Err(d)` |
376 //! | [`or_else`] | `Err(e)` | `e` | `Ok(y)` | `Ok(y)` |
377 //! | [`or_else`] | `Ok(x)` | (not provided) | (not evaluated) | `Ok(x)` |
379 //! [`and_then`]: Result::and_then
380 //! [`or_else`]: Result::or_else
382 //! ## Comparison operators
384 //! If `T` and `E` both implement [`PartialOrd`] then [`Result<T, E>`] will
385 //! derive its [`PartialOrd`] implementation. With this order, an [`Ok`]
386 //! compares as less than any [`Err`], while two [`Ok`] or two [`Err`]
387 //! compare as their contained values would in `T` or `E` respectively. If `T`
388 //! and `E` both also implement [`Ord`], then so does [`Result<T, E>`].
391 //! assert!(Ok(1) < Err(0));
392 //! let x: Result<i32, ()> = Ok(0);
395 //! let x: Result<(), i32> = Err(0);
400 //! ## Iterating over `Result`
402 //! A [`Result`] can be iterated over. This can be helpful if you need an
403 //! iterator that is conditionally empty. The iterator will either produce
404 //! a single value (when the [`Result`] is [`Ok`]), or produce no values
405 //! (when the [`Result`] is [`Err`]). For example, [`into_iter`] acts like
406 //! [`once(v)`] if the [`Result`] is [`Ok(v)`], and like [`empty()`] if the
407 //! [`Result`] is [`Err`].
410 //! [`empty()`]: crate::iter::empty
411 //! [`once(v)`]: crate::iter::once
413 //! Iterators over [`Result<T, E>`] come in three types:
415 //! * [`into_iter`] consumes the [`Result`] and produces the contained
417 //! * [`iter`] produces an immutable reference of type `&T` to the
419 //! * [`iter_mut`] produces a mutable reference of type `&mut T` to the
422 //! See [Iterating over `Option`] for examples of how this can be useful.
424 //! [Iterating over `Option`]: crate::option#iterating-over-option
425 //! [`into_iter`]: Result::into_iter
426 //! [`iter`]: Result::iter
427 //! [`iter_mut`]: Result::iter_mut
429 //! You might want to use an iterator chain to do multiple instances of an
430 //! operation that can fail, but would like to ignore failures while
431 //! continuing to process the successful results. In this example, we take
432 //! advantage of the iterable nature of [`Result`] to select only the
433 //! [`Ok`] values using [`flatten`][Iterator::flatten].
436 //! # use std::str::FromStr;
437 //! let mut results = vec![];
438 //! let mut errs = vec![];
439 //! let nums: Vec<_> = ["17", "not a number", "99", "-27", "768"]
441 //! .map(u8::from_str)
442 //! // Save clones of the raw `Result` values to inspect
443 //! .inspect(|x| results.push(x.clone()))
444 //! // Challenge: explain how this captures only the `Err` values
445 //! .inspect(|x| errs.extend(x.clone().err()))
448 //! assert_eq!(errs.len(), 3);
449 //! assert_eq!(nums, [17, 99]);
450 //! println!("results {results:?}");
451 //! println!("errs {errs:?}");
452 //! println!("nums {nums:?}");
455 //! ## Collecting into `Result`
457 //! [`Result`] implements the [`FromIterator`][impl-FromIterator] trait,
458 //! which allows an iterator over [`Result`] values to be collected into a
459 //! [`Result`] of a collection of each contained value of the original
460 //! [`Result`] values, or [`Err`] if any of the elements was [`Err`].
462 //! [impl-FromIterator]: Result#impl-FromIterator%3CResult%3CA%2C%20E%3E%3E-for-Result%3CV%2C%20E%3E
465 //! let v = [Ok(2), Ok(4), Err("err!"), Ok(8)];
466 //! let res: Result<Vec<_>, &str> = v.into_iter().collect();
467 //! assert_eq!(res, Err("err!"));
468 //! let v = [Ok(2), Ok(4), Ok(8)];
469 //! let res: Result<Vec<_>, &str> = v.into_iter().collect();
470 //! assert_eq!(res, Ok(vec![2, 4, 8]));
473 //! [`Result`] also implements the [`Product`][impl-Product] and
474 //! [`Sum`][impl-Sum] traits, allowing an iterator over [`Result`] values
475 //! to provide the [`product`][Iterator::product] and
476 //! [`sum`][Iterator::sum] methods.
478 //! [impl-Product]: Result#impl-Product%3CResult%3CU%2C%20E%3E%3E-for-Result%3CT%2C%20E%3E
479 //! [impl-Sum]: Result#impl-Sum%3CResult%3CU%2C%20E%3E%3E-for-Result%3CT%2C%20E%3E
482 //! let v = [Err("error!"), Ok(1), Ok(2), Ok(3), Err("foo")];
483 //! let res: Result<i32, &str> = v.into_iter().sum();
484 //! assert_eq!(res, Err("error!"));
485 //! let v = [Ok(1), Ok(2), Ok(21)];
486 //! let res: Result<i32, &str> = v.into_iter().product();
487 //! assert_eq!(res, Ok(42));
