rust error

Comment

// errorable functions should return Result<T, E>
// where T is your original return type, and E is the error type that impls std::error

// an error can be used in multiple ways (from a result)
// unwrap (do not use for production)

my_error.unwrap()

// an error can be used by using if let

if let Ok(x) = my_error {
	// do whatever success is here
    } else {
	// do error processing here    
}

// if the function also returns a result of a Result<T, Box<dyn Error>>
// you can use the following syntax "?" to propogate

fn errorable() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
	my_error?
}

// finally, you can use the unwrap_or methods, which is safe

my_error.unwrap_or("default value")
