Yes, the ? operator in Rust can be used with any type that implements the std::ops::Try trait, which includes types like Result and Option.
Example with Option
Here's how you can use the ? operator with Option:
fn find_item(index: usize) -> Option<&'static str> {
let items = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
items.get(index).copied()
}
fn main() {
let item = find_item(1)?;
println!("Found item: {}", item);
}
In this example, if find_item returns None, the ? operator will cause the function to return None immediately. If it returns Some, the value is extracted and assigned to item.
Summary
- The
?operator can be used withResultfor error handling. - It can also be used with
Optionto handle cases where a value might be absent.
If you have a specific type in mind, please let me know!
