Error Handling in Rust: Custom Error Types and Propagation

In this lesson on Error Handling in Rust, we will explore the fundamental concepts of defining and managing errors effectively using custom error types. Students will learn how to create their own error types that suit their application's needs, as well as how to implement the `Std::error::Error` trait to ensure compatibility with Rust's error-handling ecosystem. We will delve into the `Result` type, focusing on its role in error propagation and how to seamlessly handle errors within functions.

Additionally, the lesson will cover the implementation of the `From` trait for custom errors to facilitate easy conversion between error types. Best practices for error handling will also be discussed, enabling students to write more robust and maintainable code. By the end of this lesson, participants will have a solid understanding of error management in Rust, equipping them with the skills to craft reliable applications that gracefully handle unexpected situations.
