There are two different possible `Result` types produced within `main()`, which are

return type from `main()` that allows both?
|
|
||||||
|
Under the hood, the `?` operator calls `From::from` on the error value to convert it to a boxed
|
||||||
|
trait object, a `Box<dyn error::Error>`. This boxed trait object is polymorphic, and since all
|
||||||
|
errors implement the `error:Error` trait, we can capture lots of different errors in one "Box"
|
||||||
|
object.

Another hint: under the hood, the `?` operator calls `From::from`
|
|
||||||
on the error value to convert it to a boxed trait object, a
|
|
||||||
`Box<dyn error::Error>`, which is polymorphic-- that means that lots of
|
|
||||||
different kinds of errors can be returned from the same function because
|
|
||||||
all errors act the same since they all implement the `error::Error` trait.
