Enum itertools::Either

pub enum Either<L, R> {
    Left(L),
    Right(R),
}

Either represents an alternative holding one value out of either of the two possible values.

Either is a general purpose sum type of two parts. For representing success or error, use the regular Result<T, E> instead.

Variants

Left(L)

A value of type L.

Right(R)

A value of type R.
