+// This is a program that is trying to use a completed version of the

+// Since the `try!` macro returns an `Err` early if the thing it's trying to
+// do fails, you can only use the `try!` macro in functions that have a
+// `Result` as their return type.
+
+// The error that you get if you run this code is:
+
+// ```
+// error: mismatched types:
+// expected `()`,
+// found `std::result::Result<_, _>`
+// ```
+
+// which is saying that the expected return type of the `main` function is
+// the empty tuple, but we tried to return a `Result`-- and that's happening
+// in the implementation of `try!`. The `main` function never has a return type,
+// so we have to use another way of handling a `Result` within `main`.
+
+// Decide what we should do if `pretend_user_input` has a string value that does
+// not parse to an integer, and implement that instead of calling the `try!`
+// macro.
