Sometimes, a function can fail to compute a value simply because the value you asked simply does not exist. For example, when you try to access a collection at a wrong index, or when you want to divide by zero.
To check for the existence or absence of value, we use the `Option` type. `Option` by itself is not a type, but a generic type, meaning it needs to be annotated with an other type, like this: `Option<Type>`. This allow us to have `Option<i32>`, `Option<String>`, `Option<&str>` ... And even `Option<Option<i32>>` if you want (but this one is a bit weird and you won't encounter it often.
`Option` comes in two flavors (named variants):
- `None`, to encode the absence of value.
- `Some(v)`, to encode the presence of value. Note the `v` after `Some` to name the wrapped value.
In order to create values of type `Option<T>`, we just name the variant we want, and if needed, we give the variant a value:
```rust
let some_one = Some(1);
let nothing: Option<i32> = None;
```
To match against an `Option` value, you can use pattern matching:
```rust
let array = [1, 2, 3];
let element: Option<&i32> = array.first();
match element {
None => println!("array has no first value"),
Some(v) => println!("the first value is {}", v),
}
```
In this part we will try to implement usual functions of `Option`:
```prototype
/// Returns `true` if `opt` is `Some`
/// and `false` otherwise.
pub fn is_some(opt: &Option<i32>) -> bool {
unimplemented!()
}
/// Returns the value wrapped in `opt` if it is `Some`,
/// and `default` otherwise.
pub fn get_or_default(opt: Option<i32>, default: i32) -> i32 {
unimplemented!()
}
/// Returns the value wrapped in `opt` if there is any,
/// and panic!() otherwise.
pub fn get_or_panic(opt: Option<i32>) -> i32 {
unimplemented!()
}
```
```example
fn main() {
dbg!(is_some(&None)); // false
dbg!(get_or_default(Some(5), 1)); // 5
dbg!(get_or_panic(Some(2))); // 2
}
```
