// errors3.rs // This is a program that is trying to use a completed version of the // `total_cost` function from the previous exercise. It's not working though-- // we can't call the `try!` macro in the `main()` function! Why not? // What should we do instead? Scroll for hints! use std::num::ParseIntError; fn main() { let mut tokens = 100; let pretend_user_input = "8"; let cost = try!(total_cost(pretend_user_input)); if cost > tokens { println!("You can't afford that many!"); } else { tokens -= cost; println!("You now have {} tokens.", tokens); } } pub fn total_cost(item_quantity: &str) -> Result { let processing_fee = 1; let cost_per_item = 5; let qty = try!(item_quantity.parse::()); Ok(qty * cost_per_item + processing_fee) } // Since the `try!` macro returns an `Err` early if the thing it's trying to // do fails, you can only use the `try!` macro in functions that have a // `Result` as their return type. // The error that you get if you run this code is: // ``` // error: mismatched types: // expected `()`, // found `std::result::Result<_, _>` // ``` // which is saying that the expected return type of the `main` function is // the empty tuple, but we tried to return a `Result`-- and that's happening // in the implementation of `try!`. The `main` function never has a return type, // so we have to use another way of handling a `Result` within `main`. // Decide what we should do if `pretend_user_input` has a string value that does // not parse to an integer, and implement that instead of calling the `try!` // macro.
