Implementations

impl<T> Option<T>

pub const fn is_some(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the option is a Some value.

Examples

let x: Option<u32> = Some(2);
assert_eq!(x.is_some(), true);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.is_some(), false);

pub fn is_some_with(&self, f: impl FnOnce(&T) -> bool) -> bool

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (is_some_with #93050)

Returns true if the option is a Some wrapping a value matching the predicate.

Examples

#![feature(is_some_with)]

let x: Option<u32> = Some(2);
assert_eq!(x.is_some_with(|&x| x > 1), true);

let x: Option<u32> = Some(0);
assert_eq!(x.is_some_with(|&x| x > 1), false);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.is_some_with(|&x| x > 1), false);

pub const fn is_none(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the option is a None value.

Examples

let x: Option<u32> = Some(2);
assert_eq!(x.is_none(), false);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.is_none(), true);

pub const fn as_ref(&self) -> Option<&T>

Converts from &Option<T> to Option<&T>.

Examples

Converts an Option<String> into an Option<usize>, preserving the original. The map method takes the self argument by value, consuming the original, so this technique uses as_ref to first take an Option to a reference to the value inside the original.

let text: Option<String> = Some("Hello, world!".to_string());
// First, cast `Option<String>` to `Option<&String>` with `as_ref`,
// then consume *that* with `map`, leaving `text` on the stack.
let text_length: Option<usize> = text.as_ref().map(|s| s.len());
println!("still can print text: {:?}", text);

pub fn as_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T>

Converts from &mut Option<T> to Option<&mut T>.

Examples

let mut x = Some(2);
match x.as_mut() {
    Some(v) => *v = 42,
    None => {},
}
assert_eq!(x, Some(42));

pub fn as_pin_ref(self: Pin<&Option<T>>) -> Option<Pin<&T>>

Converts from Pin<&Option<T>> to Option<Pin<&T>>.

pub fn as_pin_mut(self: Pin<&mut Option<T>>) -> Option<Pin<&mut T>>

Converts from Pin<&mut Option<T>> to Option<Pin<&mut T>>.

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

Returns the contained Some value, consuming the self value.

Panics

Panics if the value is a None with a custom panic message provided by msg.

Examples

let x = Some("value");
assert_eq!(x.expect("fruits are healthy"), "value");

let x: Option<&str> = None;
x.expect("fruits are healthy"); // panics with `fruits are healthy`

pub fn unwrap(self) -> T

Returns the contained Some value, consuming the self value.

Because this function may panic, its use is generally discouraged. Instead, prefer to use pattern matching and handle the None case explicitly, or call unwrap_or, unwrap_or_else, or unwrap_or_default.

Panics

Panics if the self value equals None.

Examples

let x = Some("air");
assert_eq!(x.unwrap(), "air");

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.unwrap(), "air"); // fails

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

Returns the contained Some 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

assert_eq!(Some("car").unwrap_or("bike"), "car");
assert_eq!(None.unwrap_or("bike"), "bike");

pub fn unwrap_or_else<F>(self, f: F) -> T where
    F: FnOnce() -> T, 

Returns the contained Some value or computes it from a closure.

Examples

let k = 10;
assert_eq!(Some(4).unwrap_or_else(|| 2 * k), 4);
assert_eq!(None.unwrap_or_else(|| 2 * k), 20);

pub fn unwrap_or_default(self) -> T where
    T: Default, 

Returns the contained Some value or a default.

Consumes the self argument then, if Some, returns the contained value, otherwise if None, 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 None on error.

let good_year_from_input = "1909";
let bad_year_from_input = "190blarg";
let good_year = good_year_from_input.parse().ok().unwrap_or_default();
let bad_year = bad_year_from_input.parse().ok().unwrap_or_default();

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

pub unsafe fn unwrap_unchecked(self) -> T

Returns the contained Some value, consuming the self value, without checking that the value is not None.

Safety

Calling this method on None is undefined behavior.

Examples

let x = Some("air");
assert_eq!(unsafe { x.unwrap_unchecked() }, "air");

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(unsafe { x.unwrap_unchecked() }, "air"); // Undefined behavior!

pub fn map<U, F>(self, f: F) -> Option<U> where
    F: FnOnce(T) -> U, 

Maps an Option<T> to Option<U> by applying a function to a contained value.

Examples

Converts an Option<String> into an Option<usize>, consuming the original:

let maybe_some_string = Some(String::from("Hello, World!"));
// `Option::map` takes self *by value*, consuming `maybe_some_string`
let maybe_some_len = maybe_some_string.map(|s| s.len());

assert_eq!(maybe_some_len, Some(13));

pub fn inspect<F>(self, f: F) -> Option<T> where
    F: FnOnce(&T), 

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (result_option_inspect #91345)

Calls the provided closure with a reference to the contained value (if Some).

Examples

#![feature(result_option_inspect)]

let v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// prints "got: 4"
let x: Option<&usize> = v.get(3).inspect(|x| println!("got: {}", x));

// prints nothing
let x: Option<&usize> = v.get(5).inspect(|x| println!("got: {}", x));

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

Returns the provided default result (if none), or applies a function to the contained value (if any).

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 = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.map_or(42, |v| v.len()), 3);

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.map_or(42, |v| v.len()), 42);

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

Computes a default function result (if none), or applies a different function to the contained value (if any).

Examples

let k = 21;

let x = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.map_or_else(|| 2 * k, |v| v.len()), 3);

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.map_or_else(|| 2 * k, |v| v.len()), 42);

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

Transforms the Option<T> into a Result<T, E>, mapping Some(v) to Ok(v) and None to Err(err).

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

Examples

let x = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.ok_or(0), Ok("foo"));

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.ok_or(0), Err(0));

pub fn ok_or_else<E, F>(self, err: F) -> Result<T, E> where
    F: FnOnce() -> E, 

Transforms the Option<T> into a Result<T, E>, mapping Some(v) to Ok(v) and None to Err(err()).

Examples

let x = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.ok_or_else(|| 0), Ok("foo"));

let x: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.ok_or_else(|| 0), Err(0));

pub fn as_deref(&self) -> Option<&<T as Deref>::Target> where
    T: Deref, 

Converts from Option<T> (or &Option<T>) to Option<&T::Target>.

Leaves the original Option in-place, creating a new one with a reference to the original one, additionally coercing the contents via Deref.

Examples

let x: Option<String> = Some("hey".to_owned());
assert_eq!(x.as_deref(), Some("hey"));

let x: Option<String> = None;
assert_eq!(x.as_deref(), None);

pub fn as_deref_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut <T as Deref>::Target> where
    T: DerefMut, 

Converts from Option<T> (or &mut Option<T>) to Option<&mut T::Target>.

Leaves the original Option in-place, creating a new one containing a mutable reference to the inner type’s Deref::Target type.

Examples

let mut x: Option<String> = Some("hey".to_owned());
assert_eq!(x.as_deref_mut().map(|x| {
    x.make_ascii_uppercase();
    x
}), Some("HEY".to_owned().as_mut_str()));

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

Returns an iterator over the possibly contained value.

Examples

let x = Some(4);
assert_eq!(x.iter().next(), Some(&4));

let x: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.iter().next(), None);

pub fn iter_mut(&mut self) -> IterMut<'_, T>

Returns a mutable iterator over the possibly contained value.

Examples

let mut x = Some(4);
match x.iter_mut().next() {
    Some(v) => *v = 42,
    None => {},
}
assert_eq!(x, Some(42));

let mut x: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.iter_mut().next(), None);

pub fn and<U>(self, optb: Option<U>) -> Option<U>

Returns None if the option is None, otherwise returns optb.

Examples

let x = Some(2);
let y: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.and(y), None);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
let y = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.and(y), None);

let x = Some(2);
let y = Some("foo");
assert_eq!(x.and(y), Some("foo"));

let x: Option<u32> = None;
let y: Option<&str> = None;
assert_eq!(x.and(y), None);

pub fn and_then<U, F>(self, f: F) -> Option<U> where
    F: FnOnce(T) -> Option<U>, 

Returns None if the option is None, otherwise calls f with the wrapped value and returns the result.

Some languages call this operation flatmap.

Examples

fn sq(x: u32) -> Option<u32> { Some(x * x) }
fn nope(_: u32) -> Option<u32> { None }

assert_eq!(Some(2).and_then(sq).and_then(sq), Some(16));
assert_eq!(Some(2).and_then(sq).and_then(nope), None);
assert_eq!(Some(2).and_then(nope).and_then(sq), None);
assert_eq!(None.and_then(sq).and_then(sq), None);

pub fn filter<P>(self, predicate: P) -> Option<T> where
    P: FnOnce(&T) -> bool, 

Returns None if the option is None, otherwise calls predicate with the wrapped value and returns:

• Some(t) if predicate returns true (where t is the wrapped value), and
• None if predicate returns false.

This function works similar to Iterator::filter(). You can imagine the Option<T> being an iterator over one or zero elements. filter() lets you decide which elements to keep.

Examples

fn is_even(n: &i32) -> bool {
    n % 2 == 0
}

assert_eq!(None.filter(is_even), None);
assert_eq!(Some(3).filter(is_even), None);
assert_eq!(Some(4).filter(is_even), Some(4));

pub fn or(self, optb: Option<T>) -> Option<T>

Returns the option if it contains a value, otherwise returns optb.

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.

Examples

let x = Some(2);
let y = None;
assert_eq!(x.or(y), Some(2));

let x = None;
let y = Some(100);
assert_eq!(x.or(y), Some(100));

let x = Some(2);
let y = Some(100);
assert_eq!(x.or(y), Some(2));

let x: Option<u32> = None;
let y = None;
assert_eq!(x.or(y), None);

pub fn or_else<F>(self, f: F) -> Option<T> where
    F: FnOnce() -> Option<T>, 

Returns the option if it contains a value, otherwise calls f and returns the result.

Examples

fn nobody() -> Option<&'static str> { None }
fn vikings() -> Option<&'static str> { Some("vikings") }

assert_eq!(Some("barbarians").or_else(vikings), Some("barbarians"));
assert_eq!(None.or_else(vikings), Some("vikings"));
assert_eq!(None.or_else(nobody), None);

pub fn xor(self, optb: Option<T>) -> Option<T>

Returns Some if exactly one of self, optb is Some, otherwise returns None.

Examples

let x = Some(2);
let y: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.xor(y), Some(2));

let x: Option<u32> = None;
let y = Some(2);
assert_eq!(x.xor(y), Some(2));

let x = Some(2);
let y = Some(2);
assert_eq!(x.xor(y), None);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
let y: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.xor(y), None);

pub fn insert(&mut self, value: T) -> &mut T

Inserts value into the option, then returns a mutable reference to it.

If the option already contains a value, the old value is dropped.

See also Option::get_or_insert, which doesn’t update the value if the option already contains Some.

Example

let mut opt = None;
let val = opt.insert(1);
assert_eq!(*val, 1);
assert_eq!(opt.unwrap(), 1);
let val = opt.insert(2);
assert_eq!(*val, 2);
*val = 3;
assert_eq!(opt.unwrap(), 3);

pub fn get_or_insert(&mut self, value: T) -> &mut T

Inserts value into the option if it is None, then returns a mutable reference to the contained value.

See also Option::insert, which updates the value even if the option already contains Some.

Examples

let mut x = None;

{
    let y: &mut u32 = x.get_or_insert(5);
    assert_eq!(y, &5);

    *y = 7;
}

assert_eq!(x, Some(7));

pub fn get_or_insert_default(&mut self) -> &mut T where
    T: Default, 

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (option_get_or_insert_default #82901)

Inserts the default value into the option if it is None, then returns a mutable reference to the contained value.

Examples

#![feature(option_get_or_insert_default)]

let mut x = None;

{
    let y: &mut u32 = x.get_or_insert_default();
    assert_eq!(y, &0);

    *y = 7;
}

assert_eq!(x, Some(7));

pub fn get_or_insert_with<F>(&mut self, f: F) -> &mut T where
    F: FnOnce() -> T, 

Inserts a value computed from f into the option if it is None, then returns a mutable reference to the contained value.

Examples

let mut x = None;

{
    let y: &mut u32 = x.get_or_insert_with(|| 5);
    assert_eq!(y, &5);

    *y = 7;
}

assert_eq!(x, Some(7));

pub fn take(&mut self) -> Option<T>

Takes the value out of the option, leaving a None in its place.

Examples

let mut x = Some(2);
let y = x.take();
assert_eq!(x, None);
assert_eq!(y, Some(2));

let mut x: Option<u32> = None;
let y = x.take();
assert_eq!(x, None);
assert_eq!(y, None);

pub fn replace(&mut self, value: T) -> Option<T>

Replaces the actual value in the option by the value given in parameter, returning the old value if present, leaving a Some in its place without deinitializing either one.

Examples

let mut x = Some(2);
let old = x.replace(5);
assert_eq!(x, Some(5));
assert_eq!(old, Some(2));

let mut x = None;
let old = x.replace(3);
assert_eq!(x, Some(3));
assert_eq!(old, None);

pub fn contains<U>(&self, x: &U) -> bool where
    U: PartialEq<T>, 

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (option_result_contains #62358)

Returns true if the option is a Some value containing the given value.

Examples

#![feature(option_result_contains)]

let x: Option<u32> = Some(2);
assert_eq!(x.contains(&2), true);

let x: Option<u32> = Some(3);
assert_eq!(x.contains(&2), false);

let x: Option<u32> = None;
assert_eq!(x.contains(&2), false);

pub fn zip<U>(self, other: Option<U>) -> Option<(T, U)>

Zips self with another Option.

If self is Some(s) and other is Some(o), this method returns Some((s, o)). Otherwise, None is returned.

Examples

let x = Some(1);
let y = Some("hi");
let z = None::<u8>;

assert_eq!(x.zip(y), Some((1, "hi")));
assert_eq!(x.zip(z), None);

pub fn zip_with<U, F, R>(self, other: Option<U>, f: F) -> Option<R> where
    F: FnOnce(T, U) -> R, 

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (option_zip #70086)

Zips self and another Option with function f.

If self is Some(s) and other is Some(o), this method returns Some(f(s, o)). Otherwise, None is returned.

Examples

#![feature(option_zip)]

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
struct Point {
    x: f64,
    y: f64,
}

impl Point {
    fn new(x: f64, y: f64) -> Self {
        Self { x, y }
    }
}

let x = Some(17.5);
let y = Some(42.7);

assert_eq!(x.zip_with(y, Point::new), Some(Point { x: 17.5, y: 42.7 }));
assert_eq!(x.zip_with(None, Point::new), None);

impl<T, U> Option<(T, U)>

pub const fn unzip(self) -> (Option<T>, Option<U>)

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (unzip_option #87800)

Unzips an option containing a tuple of two options.

If self is Some((a, b)) this method returns (Some(a), Some(b)). Otherwise, (None, None) is returned.

Examples

#![feature(unzip_option)]

let x = Some((1, "hi"));
let y = None::<(u8, u32)>;

assert_eq!(x.unzip(), (Some(1), Some("hi")));
assert_eq!(y.unzip(), (None, None));

impl<'_, T> Option<&'_ T>

pub fn copied(self) -> Option<T> where
    T: Copy, 

Maps an Option<&T> to an Option<T> by copying the contents of the option.

Examples

let x = 12;
let opt_x = Some(&x);
assert_eq!(opt_x, Some(&12));
let copied = opt_x.copied();
assert_eq!(copied, Some(12));

pub fn cloned(self) -> Option<T> where
    T: Clone, 

Maps an Option<&T> to an Option<T> by cloning the contents of the option.

Examples

let x = 12;
let opt_x = Some(&x);
assert_eq!(opt_x, Some(&12));
let cloned = opt_x.cloned();
assert_eq!(cloned, Some(12));

impl<'_, T> Option<&'_ mut T>

pub fn copied(self) -> Option<T> where
    T: Copy, 

Maps an Option<&mut T> to an Option<T> by copying the contents of the option.

Examples

let mut x = 12;
let opt_x = Some(&mut x);
assert_eq!(opt_x, Some(&mut 12));
let copied = opt_x.copied();
assert_eq!(copied, Some(12));

pub fn cloned(self) -> Option<T> where
    T: Clone, 

Maps an Option<&mut T> to an Option<T> by cloning the contents of the option.

Examples

let mut x = 12;
let opt_x = Some(&mut x);
assert_eq!(opt_x, Some(&mut 12));
let cloned = opt_x.cloned();
assert_eq!(cloned, Some(12));

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

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

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

None will be mapped to Ok(None). Some(Ok(_)) and Some(Err(_)) will be mapped to Ok(Some(_)) and 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, y.transpose());

impl<T> Option<Option<T>>

pub fn flatten(self) -> Option<T>

Converts from Option<Option<T>> to Option<T>.

Examples

Basic usage:

let x: Option<Option<u32>> = Some(Some(6));
assert_eq!(Some(6), x.flatten());

let x: Option<Option<u32>> = Some(None);
assert_eq!(None, x.flatten());

let x: Option<Option<u32>> = None;
assert_eq!(None, x.flatten());

Flattening only removes one level of nesting at a time:

let x: Option<Option<Option<u32>>> = Some(Some(Some(6)));
assert_eq!(Some(Some(6)), x.flatten());
assert_eq!(Some(6), x.flatten().flatten());

Trait Implementations

impl<T> Clone for Option<T> where
    T: Clone, 

pub fn clone(&self) -> Option<T>

Returns a copy of the value.

pub fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Option<T>)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<T> Debug for Option<T> where
    T: Debug, 

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T> Default for Option<T>

pub fn default() -> Option<T>

Returns None.

Examples

let opt: Option<u32> = Option::default();
assert!(opt.is_none());

impl<'a, T> From<&'a Option<T>> for Option<&'a T>

pub fn from(o: &'a Option<T>) -> Option<&'a T>

Converts from &Option<T> to Option<&T>.

Examples

Converts an Option<String> into an Option<usize>, preserving the original. The map method takes the self argument by value, consuming the original, so this technique uses from to first take an Option to a reference to the value inside the original.

let s: Option<String> = Some(String::from("Hello, Rustaceans!"));
let o: Option<usize> = Option::from(&s).map(|ss: &String| ss.len());

println!("Can still print s: {:?}", s);

assert_eq!(o, Some(18));

impl<'a, T> From<&'a mut Option<T>> for Option<&'a mut T>

pub fn from(o: &'a mut Option<T>) -> Option<&'a mut T>

Converts from &mut Option<T> to Option<&mut T>

Examples

let mut s = Some(String::from("Hello"));
let o: Option<&mut String> = Option::from(&mut s);

match o {
    Some(t) => *t = String::from("Hello, Rustaceans!"),
    None => (),
}

assert_eq!(s, Some(String::from("Hello, Rustaceans!")));

impl<T> From<T> for Option<T>

pub fn from(val: T) -> Option<T>

Moves val into a new Some.

Examples

let o: Option<u8> = Option::from(67);

assert_eq!(Some(67), o);

impl<A, V> FromIterator<Option<A>> for Option<V> where
    V: FromIterator<A>, 

pub fn from_iter<I>(iter: I) -> Option<V> where
    I: IntoIterator<Item = Option<A>>, 

Takes each element in the Iterator: if it is None, no further elements are taken, and the None is returned. Should no None occur, a container of type V containing the values of each Option is returned.

Examples

Here is an example which increments every integer in a vector. We use the checked variant of add that returns None when the calculation would result in an overflow.

let items = vec![0_u16, 1, 2];

let res: Option<Vec<u16>> = items
    .iter()
    .map(|x| x.checked_add(1))
    .collect();

assert_eq!(res, Some(vec![1, 2, 3]));

As you can see, this will return the expected, valid items.

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

let items = vec![2_u16, 1, 0];

let res: Option<Vec<u16>> = items
    .iter()
    .map(|x| x.checked_sub(1))
    .collect();

assert_eq!(res, None);

Since the last element is zero, it would underflow. Thus, the resulting value is None.

Here is a variation on the previous example, showing that no further elements are taken from iter after the first None.

let items = vec![3_u16, 2, 1, 10];

let mut shared = 0;

let res: Option<Vec<u16>> = items
    .iter()
    .map(|x| { shared += x; x.checked_sub(2) })
    .collect();

assert_eq!(res, None);
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> FromResidual<<Option<T> as Try>::Residual> for Option<T>

pub fn from_residual(residual: Option<Infallible>) -> Option<T>

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

Constructs the type from a compatible Residual type.

impl<T> Hash for Option<T> where
    T: Hash, 

pub fn hash<__H>(&self, state: &mut __H) where
    __H: Hasher,

assert_eq!(v, ["string"]);

let x = None;
let v: Vec<&str> = x.into_iter().collect();
assert!(v.is_empty());

type IntoIter = IntoIter<T>

Which kind of iterator are we turning this into?

impl<T> Ord for Option<T> where
    T: Ord, 

pub fn cmp(&self, other: &Option<T>) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl<T> PartialEq<Option<T>> for Option<T> where
    T: PartialEq<T>, 

pub fn eq(&self, other: &Option<T>) -> bool

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

pub fn ne(&self, other: &Option<T>) -> bool

This method tests for !=.

impl<T> PartialOrd<Option<T>> for Option<T> where
    T: PartialOrd<T>, 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

impl<T, U> Product<Option<U>> for Option<T> where
    T: Product<U>, 

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

Takes each element in the Iterator: if it is a None, no further elements are taken, and the None is returned. Should no None occur, the product of all elements is returned.

impl<T> Residual<T> for Option<Infallible>

type TryType = Option<T>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait_v2_residual #91285)

The “return” type of this meta-function.

impl<T, U> Sum<Option<U>> for Option<T> where
    T: Sum<U>, 

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

Takes each element in the Iterator: if it is a None, no further elements are taken, and the None is returned. Should no None occur, the sum of all elements is returned.

Examples

This sums up the position of the character ‘a’ in a vector of strings, if a word did not have the character ‘a’ the operation returns None:

let words = vec!["have", "a", "great", "day"];
let total: Option<usize> = words.iter().map(|w| w.find('a')).sum();
assert_eq!(total, Some(5));

impl<T> Try for Option<T>

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 = Option<Infallible>

🔬 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.

pub fn from_output(output: <Option<T> as Try>::Output) -> Option<T>

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

Constructs the type from its Output type.

pub fn branch(
    self
) -> ControlFlow<<Option<T> as Try>::Residual, <Option<T> as Try>::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).
