fn fold<B, F>(self, init: B, f: F) -> B
where
F: FnMut(B, Self::Item) -> B
I was under the impression that the following code should work:
fn main() {
let n: usize = 10;
let fib: usize = (0..n).fold(
(0, 1), |(a, b), _i| {
let next = a + b;
a = b;
b = next;
(a, b)
}
);
println!("{}", fib.1);
}
Could you help me figure out what I am doing wrong ?
The main problem here is the type annotation fib: usize. It's incorrect since you're defining a tuple. You can either remove it entirely, or specify the tuple type (the latter would give you the choice to use something different from the default i32, though that could also be achieved by using literals with types, such as (0_u64, 1_u64).
Once that is fixed... you can also simplify the a = b; b = next; (a, b) game to just using (b, next) as a return value from the closure; and otherwise you'd need to mark a and b as mutable.
And just in case anyone is interested in a working example:
fn main() {
let n: usize = 20;
let fib = (0..n).fold(
(0, 1), |(mut a, mut b), _i| {
let next = a + b;
a = b;
b = next;
(a, b)
}
);
println!("{}", fib.1);
}
or an alternative that keeps fib as a scalar value:
fn main() {
let n: usize = 20;
let fib: usize = (0..n).fold(
(0, 1), |(mut a, mut b), _i| {
let next = a + b;
a = b;
b = next;
(a, b)
}
).1;
println!("{}", fib);
}
