A custom error type in Rust

Rust interview exercise on Option & Result, difficulty 3 of 3. Solve it in the editor beside a worked example; the tests run the moment you do.

Write get_port(config) that reads the "port" key and parses it as a u16. A missing key is ConfigError::Missing("port"); a value that does not parse is ConfigError::Invalid with the key and the raw value. Also implement Display: "missing key: port" and "invalid value for port: abc".

Each exercise pairs a worked example with a twin problem to solve in a real editor; the tests run the moment you do. Progress is saved in your browser, and in your account if you sign in.
