rustHow to get the result of a thread in Rust?

The result of a thread in Rust can be obtained by using the join method on the JoinHandle returned by the spawn method.

Example code

use std::thread;

let handle = thread::spawn(|| {
    // thread code
});

let result = handle.join();

The join method will block the current thread until the thread associated with the JoinHandle terminates. The result of the thread is then returned by the join method.

Code explanation

• thread::spawn: spawns a new thread and returns a JoinHandle
• JoinHandle::join: blocks the current thread until the thread associated with the JoinHandle terminates and returns the result of the thread
