# Enum std::result::Result 1.0.0[−][src]

    #[must_use = "this `Result` may be an `Err` variant, which should be handled"]
    pub enum Result<T, E> {
        Ok(T),
        Err(E),
    }

`Result` is a type that represents either success (`Ok`) or failure (`Err`).

See the `std::result` module documentation for details.

## Variants

`Ok(T)`

Contains the success value

`Err(E)`

Contains the error value

    let line = "1\n2\n3\n4\n";

    for num in line.lines() {
        match num.parse::<i32>().map(|i| i * 2) {

`pub fn or<F>(self, res: Result<T, F>) -> Result<T, F>`

[src]

####

`pub fn unwrap_or(self, optb: T) -> T`

[src]

Unwraps a result, yielding the content of an `Ok`. Else, it returns `optb`.

Arguments passed to `unwrap_or` are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use `unwrap_or_else`, which is lazily evaluated.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    let optb = 2;
    let x: Result<u32, &str> = Ok(9);
    assert_eq!(x.unwrap_or(optb), 9);

####

`pub fn unwrap_or_else<F>(self, op: F) -> T where F: FnOnce(E) -> T,`

    fn count(x: &str) -> usize { x.len() }

    assert_eq!(Ok(2).unwrap_or_else(count), 2);
    assert_eq!(Err("foo").unwrap_or_else(count), 3);Run

###

`impl<T, E> Result<T, E> where T: Default,`

[src]

####

`pub fn unwrap_or_default(self) -> T`

1.16.0
[src]

Returns the contained value or a default

Consumes the `self` argument then, if `Ok`, returns the contained value, otherwise if `Err`, returns the default value for that type.

# Examples

Convert a string to an integer, turning poorly-formed strings into 0 (the default value for integers). `parse` converts a string to any other type that implements `FromStr`, returning an `Err` on error.

    let good_year_from_input = "1909";
    let bad_year_from_input = "190blarg";
    let good_year = good_year_from_input.parse().unwrap_or_default();

Here is an example which increments every integer in a vector, checking for overflow:

    let v = vec![1, 2];
    let res: Result<Vec<u32>, &'static str> = v.iter().map(|x: &u32|

    let v = vec![1, 2];
    let res: Result<i32, &'static str> = v.iter().map(|&x: &i32|

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
