This error occurs when an `if` expression without an `else` block is used in a | ||
context where a type other than `()` is expected, for example a `let` | ||
expression: | ||
An `if` expression is missing an `else` block. | ||
|
||
Erroneous code example: | ||
|
||
```compile_fail,E0317 | ||
fn main() { | ||
let x = 5; | ||
let a = if x == 5 { 1 }; | ||
} | ||
let x = 5; | ||
let a = if x == 5 { | ||
1 | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This error occurs when an `if` expression without an `else` block is used in a | ||
context where a type other than `()` is expected. In the previous code example, | ||
the `let` expression was expecting a value but since there was no `else`, no | ||
value was returned. | ||
|
||
An `if` expression without an `else` block has the type `()`, so this is a type | ||
error. To resolve it, add an `else` block having the same type as the `if` | ||
block. | ||
|
||
So to fix the previous code example: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
let x = 5; | ||
let a = if x == 5 { | ||
1 | ||
} else { | ||
2 | ||
}; | ||
``` |
