• BufReader is a better choise than read_to_string
• Instead of the panic!, we can also easily write return

rust let result = std::fs::read_to_string("test.txt"); let content = match result { Ok(content) => { content }, Err(error) => { return Err(error.into()); } };

• unwrap() is a shortcut for the match with panic!
• Box<dyn std::error::Error>: It’s a Box that can contain any type that implements the standard Error trait. All errors can be put into this box

``rust fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> { //?` expands to code that converts error types and returns error let content = std::fs::readtostring("test.txt")?; println!("file content: {}", content); Ok(()) }

```

• println! tells the system to flush to the terminal every time (from buffer to terminal)
• By convention, cargo will look for integration tests in the tests/ directory.
