Suppose you are writing a lexical analyzer(Lexer), and you want return some customized errors while the lexer scan tokens, and there are 3 possibel error will happens:

• Not Supported Tokens.
• Invalid Strings.
• Invalid Nums.

SO you can define the errors with a rust enum:

pub enum LexerError {
    InvalidToken(char),
    InvalidString(String),
    InvalidNum(String),
}

I have been using golang long time to wirte backend business logic.

After writing some rust code and I want do a comparison between golang and rust. This is maybe another good way to help you learn rust.

The first component of this interpreter is a Lexer which used for scan and group the chars into Tokens.

What is Interpreter​

From Wikipedia:

In computer science, an interpreter is a computer program that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program. An interpreter generally uses one of the following strategies for program execution:

1. Parse the source code and perform its behavior directly;
2. Translate source code into some efficient intermediate representation or object code and immediately execute that;
3. Explicitly execute stored precompiled bytecode made by a compiler and matched with the interpreter Virtual Machine.
