Rust’s Result type is useful for managing operations that might fail, encapsulating either a success (Ok<T>) or an error (Err<E>).

If you missed the piece on Option combinators, you can check it out below.

Option Combinators

In our previous writeup we discussed Option Combinators, we saw how Option combinators like map and and_then help handle missing values cleanly.

Result combinators work similarly, but they’re for scenarios where errors need to be propagated or transformed, not just absent values.

Result combinators let you chain operations while keeping error handling concise and readable.
