From cppreference.com
| constexpr explicit operator bool() const noexcept; |
(1) | (since C++23) |
| constexpr bool has_value() const noexcept; |
(2) | (since C++23) |
Checks whether *this represents an expected value.

[edit] Return value
[edit] Notes
A std::expected object is never valueless. If has_value() returns true, operator*() can be used to access the expected value; otherwise, error() can be used to access the unexpected value.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <charconv> #include <concepts> #include <cstdint> #include <expected> #include <print> #include <string> #include <string_view> #include <system_error> template<std::integral Int = int> constexpr std::expected<Int, std::string> to_int(std::string_view str) { Int value{}; const auto [_, ec] = std::from_chars(str.data(), str.data() + str.size(), value); if (ec == std::errc()) return value; return std::unexpected{std::move(std::make_error_code(ec).message())}; } int main() { if (auto result = to_int("42"); result.has_value()) std::println("{}", *result); // after the check it is safe to use operator* else std::println("{}", result.error()); if (const auto result = to_int("not a number"); result) std::println("{}", *result); else std::println("{}", result.error()); if (const auto result{to_int<std::int16_t>("32768")}) // implicitly calls (1) std::println("{}", *result); else std::println("{}", result.error()); }
Possible output:
42 Invalid argument Numerical result out of range
