Help required to resolve struct function issue

[babarsaed]

Hello Everyone!

I am new with rust and trying to understanding struct code and its related function.
i have write a code for struct but build_user function is not working and giving error that parameters defined in function are not defined in this scope. please help to resolve the issue. code is mentioned below along with error

Code
#[derive(Debug)]

struct User {

email: String,

addr: String,

active: bool,

sign_in_count: u8,

}

fn main () {

let user = User {

email: String::from("babarsaed@hotmail.com"),

addr: String::from("National Telecom Faisalabad"),

active: true,

sign_in_count: 2,

};

fn build_user (_email: String, _addr: String) -> User {

    User { 

     email: "babarsaed@gmail.com".to_string(),

     addr: "NTC MSU FSD".to_string(),

     active: true,

     sign_in_count: 1,

           }

    }

//build_user(email, addr);

println!("detail of user: {:#?}", user);       

   }

Please add code blocks:

Your post is difficult to read.

[H2CO3]

It's not clear what you expect your code to do. There's indeed no email or addr variable where you are calling build_user(). You can see this by formatting your code:

#[derive(Debug)]
struct User {
    email: String,
    addr: String,
    active: bool,
    sign_in_count: u8,
}

fn main() {
    let user = User {
        email: String::from("babarsaed@hotmail.com"),
        addr: String::from("National Telecom Faisalabad"),
        active: true,
        sign_in_count: 2,
    };

    fn build_user(_email: String, _addr: String) -> User {
        User {
            email: "babarsaed@gmail.com".to_string(),
            addr: "NTC MSU FSD".to_string(),
            active: true,
            sign_in_count: 1,
        }
    }

    // Where would `email` and `addr` come from?
    build_user(email, addr);

    println!("detail of user: {:#?}", user);
}

Dear H2CO3,

Thanks for your response, these are function parameters which i defined as build_user function parameters.
fn build_user(_email: String, _addr: String) -> User {

these two function parameters i defined and when i called function build_user i pass these two parameters.

// Where would `email` and `addr` come from?
build_user(email, addr);

Best Regards,

[babarsaed]

////////My Code/////

     }

 build_user(email, addr);

 println!("detail of user: {:#?}", user);

You need to use code blocks if you want help. See my previous post to see how to make a code block.

build_user expects two parameters to be created by caller. Where do the caller (i.e. main) create them?

[babarsaed]

Thanks Cerberuser,

You mean to say that i have to create two parameters as a variable in main function?

[Cerber-Ursi]

As a variable, or directly in the call - this doesn't really matter, but now they are referring to nothing. There's no entity called email inside main, as well as no entity called addr.

[babarsaed]

Thanks Cerberuser,

// #[derive(Debug)]
 struct User {
     email: String,
     addr: String,
     active: bool,
     sign_in_count: u8,
 }

 fn main () {
     
     let user = User {
 email: String::from("babarsaed@hotmail.com"),
 addr: String::from("National Telecom Faisalabad"),
 active: true,
 sign_in_count: 2,
     };
     let mail = String::from("Babarsaed@gmail.com");
     let address = String::from("NTC Faisalabad");

     fn build_user (mail: String, address: String) -> User {
         User { 
          email: mail,
          addr: address,
          active: true,
          sign_in_count: 1,
                }
         };
     println!("Function User Detail: {:#?}",build_user(mail, address));
     println!("detail of user: {:#?}", user);       
        }

issue resolved i declare two variables in main and pass these variable to build_user function and code is worknig.
please check it is it ok now as code is giving outpout.
