// errors5.rs // This program uses an altered version of the code from errors4. // This exercise uses some concepts that we won't get to until later in the course, like `Box` and the // `From` trait. It's not important to understand them in detail right now, but you can read ahead if you like. // For now, think of the `Box` type as an "I want anything that does ???" type, which, given // Rust's usual standards for runtime safety, should strike you as somewhat lenient! // In short, this particular use case for boxes is for when you want to own a value and you care only that it is a // type which implements a particular trait. To do so, The Box is declared as of type Box where Trait is the trait // the compiler looks for on any value used in that context. For this exercise, that context is the potential errors // which can be returned in a Result. // What can we use to describe both errors? In other words, is there a trait which both errors implement? // Execute `rustlings hint errors5` or use the `hint` watch subcommand for a hint. use std::error; use std::fmt; use std::num::ParseIntError; fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let pretend_user_input = "42"; let x: i64 = pretend_user_input.parse()?; println!("output={:?}", PositiveNonzeroInteger::new(x)?); Ok(()) } // Don't change anything below this line. #[derive(PartialEq, Debug)] struct PositiveNonzeroInteger(u64); #[derive(PartialEq, Debug)] enum CreationError { Negative, Zero, } impl PositiveNonzeroInteger { fn new(value: i64) -> Result { match value { x if x < 0 => Err(CreationError::Negative), x if x == 0 => Err(CreationError::Zero), x => Ok(PositiveNonzeroInteger(x as u64)), } } } // This is required so that `CreationError` can implement `error::Error`. impl fmt::Display for CreationError { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { let description = match *self { CreationError::Negative => "number is negative", CreationError::Zero => "number is zero", }; f.write_str(description) } } impl error::Error for CreationError {}
