27. Option's sum/product

Rust’s option implements Sum and Product traits too!

Use it when you want to get None if there is a None element and sum of values otherwise.

let nums: [Option<u32>;3] = [Some(1), Some(10), None];
let maybe_nums: Option<u32> = nums.into_iter().sum();
assert_eq!(maybe_nums, None);

or sum of the values …

let nums = [Some(1), Some(10), Some(100)];
let maybe_nums: Option<u32> = nums.into_iter().sum();
assert_eq!(maybe_nums, Some(111));

And product.

let nums = [Some(1), Some(10), Some(100)];
let maybe_nums: Option<u32> = nums.into_iter().product();
assert_eq!(maybe_nums, Some(1000));
