error[E0029]: only `char` and numeric types are allowed in range patterns --> $DIR/E0029-teach.rs:7:9 | LL | "hello" ..= "world" => {} | -------^^^^^------- | | | | | this is of type `&'static str` but it should be `char` or numeric | this is of type `&'static str` but it should be `char` or numeric | = note: In a match expression, only numbers and characters can be matched against a range. This is because the compiler checks that the range is non-empty at compile-time, and is unable to evaluate arbitrary comparison functions. If you want to capture values of an orderable type between two end-points, you can use a guard. error: aborting due to previous error For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0029`.
