[SOLVED] Return a value in function on rust

Question

// the code below

fn ask_name() -> &'static str {
println!("Your name...");
let mut name: String = String::new();
io::stdin()
.read_line(&mut name)
.expect("Something went wrong");
return name.trim_end();
}

println!("{}", ask_name());

Answer 1

The lifetime of your str is not static. Return a String instead, passing ownership out.

fn ask_name() -> String {
// ...
return name.trim_end().to_owned();
}

Answer 2

Oh, all right :) What did they suggest?

Answer 3

Right. Passing ownership out :)

Answer 4

😅

Answer 5

Actually already fixed it a long time ago, with help from rust community

Answer 6

They suggested something like this:
fn foo() -> String {
println!("Your name...");
let mut name: String = String::new();
io::stdin()
.read_line(&mut name)
.expect("Something went wrong");

// Trim the owned `String`
let len = name.trim_end().len();
name.truncate(len);

// The canonical way to return a value in Rust is to just have an
// expression with no `;` at the end
name
}
