// errors3.rs // This is a program that is trying to use a completed version of the // `total_cost` function from the previous exercise.

Scroll for hints! use std::num::ParseIntError; fn main() { let mut tokens = 100; let pretend_user_input = "8"; let cost = 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 = item_quantity.parse::()?; Ok(qty * cost_per_item + processing_fee) } // Since the `?` operator returns an `Err` early if the thing it's trying to // do fails, you can only use the `?` operator in functions that have a // `Result` as their return type. // Hence the error that you get if you run this code is: // ``` // error[E0277]: the `?` operator can only be used in a function that returns `Result` (or another type that implements `std::ops::Try`) // ``` // 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 using the `?` // operator.
