# Error code E0525

A closure was used but didn’t implement the expected trait.

Erroneous code example:

    struct X;

    fn foo<T>(_: T) {}
    fn bar<T: Fn(u32)>(_: T) {}

    fn main() {
        let x = X;
        let closure = |_| foo(x); // error: expected a closure that implements
                                  //        the `Fn` trait, but this closure only
                                  //        implements `FnOnce`
        bar(closure);
    }

In the example above, `closure` is an `FnOnce` closure whereas the `bar` function expected an `Fn` closure. In this case, it’s simple to fix the issue, you just have to implement `Copy` and `Clone` traits on `struct X` and it’ll be ok:

    #[derive(Clone, Copy)] // We implement `Clone` and `Copy` traits.
    struct X;

    fn foo<T>(_: T) {}
    fn bar<T: Fn(u32)>(_: T) {}

    fn main() {
        let x = X;
        let closure = |_| foo(x);
        bar(closure); // ok!
    }
