Enum core::ops::ControlFlow1.55.0[][src]

pub enum ControlFlow<B, C = ()> {
    Continue(C),
    Break(B),
}
Expand description

Used to tell an operation whether it should exit early or go on as usual.

This is used when exposing things (like graph traversals or visitors) where you want the user to be able to choose whether to exit early. Having the enum makes it clearer – no more wondering “wait, what did false mean again?” – and allows including a value.

Examples

Early-exiting from Iterator::try_for_each:

use std::ops::ControlFlow;

let r = (2..100).try_for_each(|x| {
    if 403 % x == 0 {
        return ControlFlow::Break(x)
    }

    ControlFlow::Continue(())
});
assert_eq!(r, ControlFlow::Break(13));
Run

A basic tree traversal:

use std::ops::ControlFlow;

pub struct TreeNode<T> {
    value: T,
    left: Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>>,
    right: Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>>,
}

impl<T> TreeNode<T> {
    pub fn traverse_inorder<B>(&self, mut f: impl FnMut(&T) -> ControlFlow<B>) -> ControlFlow<B> {
        if let Some(left) = &self.left {
            left.traverse_inorder(&mut f)?;
        }
        f(&self.value)?;
        if let Some(right) = &self.right {
            right.traverse_inorder(&mut f)?;
        }
        ControlFlow::Continue(())
    }
}
Run

Variants

Continue

Move on to the next phase of the operation as normal.

Tuple Fields of Continue

0: C
Break

Exit the operation without running subsequent phases.

Tuple Fields of Break

0: B

Implementations

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (control_flow_enum #75744)

new API

Returns true if this is a Break variant.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

assert!(ControlFlow::<i32, String>::Break(3).is_break());
assert!(!ControlFlow::<String, i32>::Continue(3).is_break());
Run
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (control_flow_enum #75744)

new API

Returns true if this is a Continue variant.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

assert!(!ControlFlow::<i32, String>::Break(3).is_continue());
assert!(ControlFlow::<String, i32>::Continue(3).is_continue());
Run
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (control_flow_enum #75744)

new API

Converts the ControlFlow into an Option which is Some if the ControlFlow was Break and None otherwise.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

assert_eq!(ControlFlow::<i32, String>::Break(3).break_value(), Some(3));
assert_eq!(ControlFlow::<String, i32>::Continue(3).break_value(), None);
Run
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (control_flow_enum #75744)

new API

Maps ControlFlow<B, C> to ControlFlow<T, C> by applying a function to the break value in case it exists.

new API

It’s frequently the case that there’s no value needed with Continue, so this provides a way to avoid typing (()), if you prefer it.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

let mut partial_sum = 0;
let last_used = (1..10).chain(20..25).try_for_each(|x| {
    partial_sum += x;
    if partial_sum > 100 { ControlFlow::Break(x) }
    else { ControlFlow::CONTINUE }
});
assert_eq!(last_used.break_value(), Some(22));
Run
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (control_flow_enum #75744)

new API

APIs like try_for_each don’t need values with Break, so this provides a way to avoid typing (()), if you prefer it.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

let mut partial_sum = 0;
(1..10).chain(20..25).try_for_each(|x| {
    if partial_sum > 100 { ControlFlow::BREAK }
    else { partial_sum += x; ControlFlow::CONTINUE }
});
assert_eq!(partial_sum, 108);
