Calling .unwrap() on a Result is often considered poor style. When called on an error type, the program crashes without a helpful error message.
{
It would also be appropriate to call unwrap when you have some other logic that ensures the Result will have an Ok value, but the logic isn’t something the compiler understands. You’ll still have a Result value that you need to handle: whatever operation you’re calling still has the possibility of failing in general, even though it’s logically impossible in your particular situation. If you can ensure by manually inspecting the code that you’ll never have an Err variant, it’s perfectly acceptable to call unwrap. Here’s an example:


fn main() {
    use std::net::IpAddr;

    let home: IpAddr = "127.0.0.1".parse().unwrap();
}
}
