I think that returning an error union here isn't particularly interesting. I think most of the exercises that currently contain (or previously contained) a single-item error set are better if the relevant functions return an optional, or say that it is the caller's responsibility to do input validation.
This PR is a follow-up to 290e7f3, which removed the negative input test case.
Note that we should be able to add the "bad input" tests again in the future - Zig plans to give
std.testingthe ability to expect a panic.Merging this PR will break everybody's solution.
