But how will we test whether input_num from the previous section, which is of type Result, contains a value or not? When the value is an Ok(T), the function unwrap()can extract the value T, like this:
println!("Unwrap found {}", input_num.unwrap());
This prints the following output:
Unwrap found 42
But when the result is an Err value, this lets the program crash with a panic:
thread '<main>' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value'.
This is bad! To solve this, no complex if - else constructs will do; we need Rust's magical match here, which has a lot more possibilities than the case or switch in other languages:
// from Chapter 4/code/pattern_match.rs match input_num { Ok(num) => println!("{}", num), ...
