Use ? in functions where you want to propagate errors up to the caller. This allows the function to remain clean and focused on its main task while delegating error handling to the caller.

when implementing the Iterator trait in Rust, your struct usually needs some form of state to keep track of the iteration’s progress. Often, this is achieved by including a counter or index field in your struct. https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch13-02-iterators.html?highlight=iterator%20trait#the-iterator-trait-and-the-next-method Also, check out : https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch19-03-advanced-traits.html#specifying-placeholder-types-in-trait-definitions-with-associated-types impl Iterator for Here’s a basic example of how to implement an iterator […]

One of the more confusing examples for me to learn when studying Dave Macleod’s excellent “Rust in a Month of Lunches” was page 145. Check the “Rust Book” for the official description of the from trait : https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/convert/trait.From.html I modified the example to use cities in England to help me relate to it! Two cities, […]

Let’s pick the code apart for a timelock smart contract and with a bit of help from chatGPT and the Stellar documentation we’ll make sure we understand every part of it. https://github.com/stellar/soroban-examples/blob/main/timelock/src/lib.rs Timelock This is how it works with Alice and Bob: In summary, the contract protects the funds by ensuring that only the designated […]
