// This is a really common error that can be fixed by removing one character.
|
|
// It happens because Rust distinguishes between expressions and statements: expressions return
|
|
// a value based on its operand, and statements simply return a () type which behaves just like `void` in C/C++ language.
|
|
// We want to return a value of `i32` type from the `square` function, but it is returning a `()` type...
|
|
// They are not the same. There are two solutions:
|
|
// 1. Add a `return` ahead of `num * num;`
|
|
// 2. remove `;`, make it to be `num * num`
