Enum core::result::Result

#[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 module documentation for details.

Variants

Ok(T)

Contains the success value

Err(E)

Contains the error value

Implementations

impl<T, E> Result<T, E>

#[must_use = "if you intended to assert that this is ok, consider `.unwrap()` instead"]

pub const fn is_ok(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the result is Ok.

Examples

Basic usage:

let x: Result<i32, &str> = Ok(-3);
assert_eq!(x.is_ok(), true);

let x: Result<i32, &str> = Err("Some error message");
assert_eq!(x.is_ok(), false);

#[must_use = "if you intended to assert that this is err, consider `.unwrap_err()` instead"]

pub const fn is_err(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the result is Err.

Examples

Basic usage:

let x: Result<i32, &str> = Ok(-3);

pub fn map<U, F: FnOnce(T) -> U>(self, op: F) -> Result<U, E>

Maps a Result<T, E> to Result<U, E> by applying a function to a contained Ok value, leaving an Err value untouched.

This function can be used to compose the results of two functions.

Examples

Print the numbers on each line of a string multiplied by two.

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

for num in line.lines() {
    match num.parse::<i32>().map(|i| i * 2) {
        Ok(n) => println!("{}", n),

pub fn map_or<U, F: FnOnce(T) -> U>(self, default: U, f: F) -> U

Returns the provided default (if Err), or applies a function to the contained value (if Ok),

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

Examples

let x: Result<_, &str> = Ok("foo");
assert_eq!(x.map_or(42, |v| v.len()), 3);

let x: Result<&str, _> = Err("bar");
assert_eq!(x.map_or(42, |v| v.len()), 42);

    self,
    default: D,
    f: F
) -> U

Maps a Result<T, E> to U by applying a fallback function to a contained Err value, or a default function to a contained Ok value.

This function can be used to unpack a successful result while handling an error.

Examples

Basic usage:

let k = 21;

let x : Result<_, &str> = Ok("foo");
assert_eq!(x.map_or_else(|e| k * 2, |v| v.len()), 3);

let x : Result<&str, _> = Err("bar");
assert_eq!(x.map_or_else(|e| k * 2, |v| v.len()), 42);

pub fn map_err<F, O: FnOnce(E) -> F>(self, op: O) -> Result<T, F>

This function can be used to pass through a successful result while handling an error.

Examples

Basic usage:

fn stringify(x: u32) -> String { format!("error code: {}", x) }

let x: Result<u32, u32> = Ok(2);
assert_eq!(x.map_err(stringify), Ok(2));

assert_eq!(x.map_err(stringify), Err("error code: 13".to_string()));

pub fn iter(&self) -> Iter<'_, T>

Returns an iterator over the possibly contained value.

The iterator yields one value if the result is Result::Ok, otherwise none.

Examples

Basic usage:

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Ok(7);
assert_eq!(x.iter().next(), Some(&7));

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Err("nothing!");

match x.iter_mut().next() {
    Some(v) => *v = 40,
    None => {},
}
assert_eq!(x, Ok(40));

let mut x: Result<u32, &str> = Err("nothing!");
assert_eq!(x.iter_mut().next(), None);

pub fn and<U>(self, res: Result<U, E>) -> Result<U, E>

let y: Result<&str, &str> = Ok("foo");
assert_eq!(x.and(y), Err("early error"));

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Err("not a 2");
let y: Result<&str, &str> = Err("late error");
assert_eq!(x.and(y), Err("not a 2"));

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Ok(2);
let y: Result<&str, &str> = Ok("different result type");
assert_eq!(x.and(y), Ok("different result type"));

pub fn and_then<U, F: FnOnce(T) -> Result<U, E>>(self, op: F) -> Result<U, E>

assert_eq!(Ok(2).and_then(sq).and_then(err), Err(4));
assert_eq!(Ok(2).and_then(err).and_then(sq), Err(2));
assert_eq!(Err(3).and_then(sq).and_then(sq), Err(3));

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

Returns res if the result is Err, otherwise returns the Ok value of self.

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

assert_eq!(Err(3).or_else(err).or_else(err), Err(3));

pub fn unwrap_or(self, default: T) -> T

Returns the contained Ok value or a provided default.

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

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Err("error");

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

pub unsafe fn unwrap_unchecked(self) -> T

assert_eq!(cloned, Ok(12));

impl<T, E: Debug> Result<T, E>

pub fn expect(self, msg: &str) -> T

Returns the contained Ok value, consuming the self value.

Panics

Panics if the value is an Err, with a panic message including the passed message, and the content of the Err.

Examples

Basic usage:

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Err("emergency failure");
x.expect("Testing expect"); // panics with `Testing expect: emergency failure`

pub fn unwrap(self) -> T

Returns the contained Ok value, consuming the self value.

Because this function may panic, its use is generally discouraged. Instead, prefer to use pattern matching and handle the Err case explicitly, or call unwrap_or, unwrap_or_else, or unwrap_or_default.

Panics

Panics if the value is an Err, with a panic message provided by the Err’s value.

Examples

Basic usage:

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

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Err("emergency failure");
x.unwrap(); // panics with `emergency failure`

impl<T: Debug, E> Result<T, E>

pub fn expect_err(self, msg: &str) -> E

Returns the contained Err value, consuming the self value.

Panics

Panics if the value is an Ok, with a panic message including the passed message, and the content of the Ok.

x.expect_err("Testing expect_err"); // panics with `Testing expect_err: 10`

pub fn unwrap_err(self) -> E

Returns the contained Err value, consuming the self value.

Panics

Panics if the value is an Ok, with a custom panic message provided by the Ok’s value.

Examples

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Ok(2);
x.unwrap_err(); // panics with `2`

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Err("emergency failure");
assert_eq!(x.unwrap_err(), "emergency failure");

impl<T: Default, E> Result<T, E>

pub fn unwrap_or_default(self) -> T

Returns the contained Ok 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

Converts 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();
let bad_year = bad_year_from_input.parse().unwrap_or_default();

assert_eq!(1909, good_year);
assert_eq!(0, bad_year);

impl<T, E: Into<!>> Result<T, E>

pub fn into_ok(self) -> T

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unwrap_infallible #61695)

newly added

Returns the contained Ok value, but never panics.

Unlike unwrap, this method is known to never panic on the result types it is implemented for. Therefore, it can be used instead of unwrap as a maintainability safeguard that will fail to compile if the error type of the Result is later changed to an error that can actually occur.

Examples

Basic usage:

fn only_good_news() -> Result<String, !> {
    Ok("this is fine".into())
}

let s: String = only_good_news().into_ok();
println!("{}", s);

impl<T: Into<!>, E> Result<T, E>

pub fn into_err(self) -> E

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unwrap_infallible #61695)

newly added

Returns the contained Err value, but never panics.

Unlike unwrap_err, this method is known to never panic on the result types it is implemented for. Therefore, it can be used instead of unwrap_err as a maintainability safeguard that will fail to compile if the ok type of the Result is later changed to a type that can actually occur.

Examples

Basic usage:

fn only_bad_news() -> Result<!, String> {
    Err("Oops, it failed".into())
}

let error: String = only_bad_news().into_err();
println!("{}", error);

impl<T: Deref, E> Result<T, E>

pub fn as_deref(&self) -> Result<&T::Target, &E>

Converts from Result<T, E> (or &Result<T, E>) to Result<&<T as Deref>::Target, &E>.

Coerces the Ok variant of the original Result via Deref and returns the new Result.

Examples

let x: Result<String, u32> = Ok("hello".to_string());
let y: Result<&str, &u32> = Ok("hello");
assert_eq!(x.as_deref(), y);

let x: Result<String, u32> = Err(42);
let y: Result<&str, &u32> = Err(&42);
assert_eq!(x.as_deref(), y);

impl<T: DerefMut, E> Result<T, E>

pub fn as_deref_mut(&mut self) -> Result<&mut T::Target, &mut E>

Converts from Result<T, E> (or &mut Result<T, E>) to Result<&mut <T as DerefMut>::Target, &mut E>.

Coerces the Ok variant of the original Result via DerefMut and returns the new Result.

Examples

let mut s = "HELLO".to_string();
let mut x: Result<String, u32> = Ok("hello".to_string());
let y: Result<&mut str, &mut u32> = Ok(&mut s);
assert_eq!(x.as_deref_mut().map(|x| { x.make_ascii_uppercase(); x }), y);

let mut i = 42;
let mut x: Result<String, u32> = Err(42);
let y: Result<&mut str, &mut u32> = Err(&mut i);
assert_eq!(x.as_deref_mut().map(|x| { x.make_ascii_uppercase(); x }), y);

impl<T, E> Result<Option<T>, E>

pub fn transpose(self) -> Option<Result<T, E>>

Transposes a Result of an Option into an Option of a Result.

Ok(None) will be mapped to None. Ok(Some(_)) and Err(_) will be mapped to Some(Ok(_)) and Some(Err(_)).

Examples

#[derive(Debug, Eq, PartialEq)]
struct SomeErr;

let x: Result<Option<i32>, SomeErr> = Ok(Some(5));
let y: Option<Result<i32, SomeErr>> = Some(Ok(5));
assert_eq!(x.transpose(), y);

impl<T, E> Result<Result<T, E>, E>

pub fn flatten(self) -> Result<T, E>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (result_flattening #70142)

Converts from Result<Result<T, E>, E> to Result<T, E>

Examples

Basic usage:

#![feature(result_flattening)]
let x: Result<Result<&'static str, u32>, u32> = Ok(Ok("hello"));
assert_eq!(Ok("hello"), x.flatten());

let x: Result<Result<&'static str, u32>, u32> = Ok(Err(6));
assert_eq!(Err(6), x.flatten());

let x: Result<Result<&'static str, u32>, u32> = Err(6);
assert_eq!(Err(6), x.flatten());

Flattening only removes one level of nesting at a time:

#![feature(result_flattening)]
let x: Result<Result<Result<&'static str, u32>, u32>, u32> = Ok(Ok(Ok("hello")));
assert_eq!(Ok(Ok("hello")), x.flatten());
assert_eq!(Ok("hello"), x.flatten().flatten());

impl<T> Result<T, T>

pub const fn into_ok_or_err(self) -> T

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (result_into_ok_or_err #82223)

newly added

Returns the Ok value if self is Ok, and the Err value if self is Err.

In other words, this function returns the value (the T) of a Result<T, T>, regardless of whether or not that result is Ok or Err.

This can be useful in conjunction with APIs such as Atomic*::compare_exchange, or slice::binary_search, but only in cases where you don’t care if the result was Ok or not.

Examples

#![feature(result_into_ok_or_err)]
let ok: Result<u32, u32> = Ok(3);
let err: Result<u32, u32> = Err(4);

assert_eq!(ok.into_ok_or_err(), 3);
assert_eq!(err.into_ok_or_err(), 4);

Trait Implementations

impl<T: Clone, E: Clone> Clone for Result<T, E>

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<T: Debug, E: Debug> Debug for Result<T, E>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<A, E, V: FromIterator<A>> FromIterator<Result<A, E>> for Result<V, E>

fn from_iter<I: IntoIterator<Item = Result<A, E>>>(iter: I) -> Result<V, E>

Takes each element in the Iterator: if it is an Err, no further elements are taken, and the Err is returned. Should no Err occur, a container with the values of each Result is returned.

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|
    x.checked_add(1).ok_or("Overflow!")
).collect();
assert_eq!(res, Ok(vec![2, 3]));

Here is another example that tries to subtract one from another list of integers, this time checking for underflow:

let v = vec![1, 2, 0];
let res: Result<Vec<u32>, &'static str> = v.iter().map(|x: &u32|
    x.checked_sub(1).ok_or("Underflow!")
).collect();
assert_eq!(res, Err("Underflow!"));

Here is a variation on the previous example, showing that no further elements are taken from iter after the first Err.

let v = vec![3, 2, 1, 10];
let mut shared = 0;
let res: Result<Vec<u32>, &'static str> = v.iter().map(|x: &u32| {
    shared += x;
    x.checked_sub(2).ok_or("Underflow!")
}).collect();
assert_eq!(res, Err("Underflow!"));
assert_eq!(shared, 6);

Since the third element caused an underflow, no further elements were taken, so the final value of shared is 6 (= 3 + 2 + 1), not 16.

impl<T, E> IntoIterator for Result<T, E>

fn into_iter(self) -> IntoIter<T>

Returns a consuming iterator over the possibly contained value.

Examples

Basic usage:

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Ok(5);
let v: Vec<u32> = x.into_iter().collect();
assert_eq!(v, [5]);

let x: Result<u32, &str> = Err("nothing!");
let v: Vec<u32> = x.into_iter().collect();
assert_eq!(v, []);

impl<T: PartialEq, E: PartialEq> PartialEq<Result<T, E>> for Result<T, E>

fn eq(&self, other: &Result<T, E>) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Result<T, E>) -> bool

This method tests for !=.

impl<T: PartialOrd, E: PartialOrd> PartialOrd<Result<T, E>> for Result<T, E>

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Result<T, E>) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

#[must_use]

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

#[must_use]

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

#[must_use]

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

#[must_use]

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

impl<T, U, E> Product<Result<U, E>> for Result<T, E> where
    T: Product<U>, 

fn product<I>(iter: I) -> Result<T, E> where
    I: Iterator<Item = Result<U, E>>, 

Takes each element in the Iterator: if it is an Err, no further elements are taken, and the Err is returned. Should no Err occur, the product of all elements is returned.

impl<T, U, E> Sum<Result<U, E>> for Result<T, E> where
    T: Sum<U>, 

fn sum<I>(iter: I) -> Result<T, E> where
    I: Iterator<Item = Result<U, E>>, 

Takes each element in the Iterator: if it is an Err, no further elements are taken, and the Err is returned. Should no Err occur, the sum of all elements is returned.

Examples

This sums up every integer in a vector, rejecting the sum if a negative element is encountered:

let v = vec![1, 2];
let res: Result<i32, &'static str> = v.iter().map(|&x: &i32|
    if x < 0 { Err("Negative element found") }
    else { Ok(x) }
).sum();
assert_eq!(res, Ok(3));

impl<T, E> Try for Result<T, E>

type Ok = T

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait #42327)

The type of this value when viewed as successful.

type Error = E

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait #42327)

The type of this value when viewed as failed.

fn into_result(self) -> Self

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait #42327)

Applies the “?” operator. A return of Ok(t) means that the execution should continue normally, and the result of ? is the value t. A return of Err(e) means that execution should branch to the innermost enclosing catch, or return from the function.

fn from_ok(v: T) -> Self

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait #42327)

Wrap an OK value to construct the composite result. For example, Result::Ok(x) and Result::from_ok(x) are equivalent.

fn from_error(v: E) -> Self

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait #42327)

Wrap an error value to construct the composite result. For example, Result::Err(x) and Result::from_error(x) are equivalent.

impl<T, E> Try for Result<T, E>

type Output = T

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait_v2 #84277)

The type of the value produced by ? when not short-circuiting.

type Residual = Result<Infallible, E>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait_v2 #84277)

The type of the value passed to FromResidual::from_residual as part of ? when short-circuiting.

fn from_output(output: Self::Output) -> Self

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait_v2 #84277)

Constructs the type from its Output type.

fn branch(self) -> ControlFlow<Self::Residual, Self::Output>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait_v2 #84277)

Used in ? to decide whether the operator should produce a value (because this returned ControlFlow::Continue) or propagate a value back to the caller (because this returned ControlFlow::Break).
