To be blatantly honest, I think the current example given for Option::and_then is objectively terrible. (No offence to whoever wrote them initially.)

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);

Current example:

  • does not demonstrate that and_then converts Option<T> to Option<U>
  • is far removed from any realistic code
  • generally just causes more confusion than it helps

So I replaced them with two blocks:

  • the first one shows basic usage (including the type conversion)
  • the second one shows an example of typical usage

Same thing with Result::and_then.

Hopefully this helps with clarity.

Oops. I renamed the branch on GitHub expecting this PR to be unaffected. Sry for any inconvenience.

I also updated examples for Result::and_then, and thought I'd squeeze that into this PR as well. Well turns out I was somewhat too slow. Hopefully I haven't messed up the workflow too bad.

My apologies, I really should have made it a draft PR before everything is ready. I will do better next time. Sorry for the disruptions I caused.

I'm happy with the current state of this PR and will refrain from making further edits. Thanks.

Just a couple of thoughts on the Result examples.

I don't think they're MUSTs, so if you'd rather not make changes then comment and re-ready the PR.
