In Rust, the From trait plays a crucial role in allowing the conversion of one type into another. Let’s explore this concept through a straightforward example involving the conversion of lengths from feet to meters. Struct Definitions Here, we have two structs, Feet and Meters, each representing a length in a different unit. From Trait […]
Here we continue trying out BDK and learning to use it with Rust : By the end of this article our code will do the following : During testing I had this “Dust” error, so let’s just cover that first… BDK – Error: OutputBelowDustLimit(0) When testing on Testnet you may come across errors with the […]
Error handling is a crucial aspect of writing robust and reliable code. In Rust, two common types for representing potential errors are Option and Result. While both are useful, there are situations where using Result provides a more expressive and idiomatic way to handle errors, especially when dealing with functions that can fail due to […]
