Trait std::fmt::Display [−] [src]

pub trait Display {
    fn fmt(&self, &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>;
}

Format trait for an empty format, {}.

Display is similar to Debug, but Display is for user-facing output, and so cannot be derived.

For more information on formatters, see the module-level documentation.

Examples

Implementing Display on a type:

fn main() { use std::fmt; struct Point { x: i32, y: i32, } impl fmt::Display for Point { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { write!(f, "({}, {})", self.x, self.y) } } let origin = Point { x: 0, y: 0 }; println!("The origin is: {}", origin); }
use std::fmt;

struct Point {
    x: i32,
    y: i32,
}

impl fmt::Display for Point {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
        write!(f, "({}, {})", self.x, self.y)
    }
}

let origin = Point { x: 0, y: 0 };

println!("The origin is: {}", origin);

Required Methods
