Function Return Values
Introduction: In Rust programming, understanding how to utilize return values effectively is crucial for writing robust and efficient functions. Return values allow functions to communicate results back to the caller, enabling the extraction of computed data or outcomes. This blog post explores the intricacies of function return values in Rust, covering basic syntax, multiple return values, and implicit returns. Basic Function Return: In Rust, functions can return values to the caller using the -> syntax in the function signature. The return type specifies the data type of the value that the function will produce. Example 1: Basic Function Return fn square(x: i32) -> i32 { x * x } Implicit Return: When the last line of a function is an expression, Rust implicitly returns the value of that expression as the function's result. This behavior simplifies function definitions and enhances code readability. Example 2: Implicit Return fn square(x: i32) -> i32 { x * x ...
