Struct std::prelude::Option

Optional value

Optional values can either contain a value or they can be empty.

See also module-level documentation.

Example

let a = Option::some(1);
let b: Option<i32> = Option::none();

assert_eq!(a.is_some(), true);
assert_eq!(b.is_some(), false);
Run this example

Methods

• fn some(inner: T) -> Option<T>

  source

  Create a populated Option value

  Example

  let opt = Option::some(42);
  
  assert!(opt.is_some());
  assert_eq!(opt.unwrap(), 42);
  Run this example

• fn none() -> Option<T>

  source

  Create an empty Option value

  Example

  let opt: Option<i32> = Option::none();
  
  assert!(opt.is_none());
  Run this example

• fn is_some(self: &Option<T>) -> bool

  source

  Returns true if the option is populated, false otherwise.

• fn is_none(self: &Option<T>) -> bool

  source

  Returns true if the option is empty, false otherwise.

• fn unwrap(self: Option<T>) -> T

  source

  Returns a value, if present, panics otherwise.

  Examples

  assert_eq!(Option::some(42).unwrap(), 42);
  Run this example

  let opt: Option<i32> = Option::none();
  
  opt.unwrap(); // panics
  Run this example

• fn ok_or<E>(self: Option<T>, err: E) -> Result<T, E>

  source

  Convert the option into a Result.

  If the option is empty, the err value will be used for the error variant.

• fn ok_or_else<E, F>(self: Option<T>, f: F) -> Result<T, E>

  F: Fn() -> E

  source

  Convert the option into a Result.

  If the option is empty, the callback will be called to get the the error variant.

• fn unwrap_or(self: Option<T>, val: T) -> T

  source

  Returns a value, if present, otherwise return a default value.

  Example

  assert_eq!(Option::some(42).unwrap_or(1337), 42);
  assert_eq!(Option::none::<i32>().unwrap_or(1337), 1337);
  Run this example

• fn unwrap_or_else<F>(self: Option<T>, func: F) -> T

  F: Fn() -> T

  source

  Returns a value, if present, otherwise invoke func to get the default.

  Example

  let a = Option::some(42);
  let b: Option<i32> = Option::none();
  
  fn default() -> i32 {
      1337
  }
  
  assert_eq!(a.unwrap_or_else(default), 42);
  assert_eq!(b.unwrap_or_else(default), 1337);

• fn map<Tm, F>(self: Option<T>, func: F) -> Option<Tm>

  F: Fn(T) -> Tm

  source

  Transform the value inside the Option by calling the provided function.

  If the value is none, function is not called.

  Example

  let a = Option::some(42).map(|v: i32| -> i32 { v + 1 });
  let b = Option::none::<i32>().map(|v: i32| -> i32 { v + 1 });

  assert_eq!(a.and(b), Option::some(true));
  assert_eq!(a.and(c), Option::none());
  assert_eq!(c.and(a), Option::none());
  Run this example

• fn and_then<Tm, F>(self: Option<T>, func: F) -> Option<Tm>

  F: Fn(T) -> Option<Tm>

      .and_then(|v: i32| -> Option<i32> {
          if v == 0 {

          } else {
              Option::some(v + 1)
          }
