# Error code E0107

An incorrect number of generic arguments was provided.

Erroneous code example:

    struct Foo<T> { x: T }

    struct Bar { x: Foo }             // error: wrong number of type arguments:
                                      //        expected 1, found 0
    struct Baz<S, T> { x: Foo<S, T> } // error: wrong number of type arguments:
                                      //        expected 1, found 2

    fn foo<T, U>(x: T, y: U) {}
    fn f() {}

    fn main() {
        let x: bool = true;
        foo::<bool>(x);                 // error: wrong number of type arguments:
                                        //        expected 2, found 1
        foo::<bool, i32, i32>(x, 2, 4); // error: wrong number of type arguments:
                                        //        expected 2, found 3
        f::<'static>();                 // error: wrong number of lifetime arguments
                                        //        expected 0, found 1
    }

When using/declaring an item with generic arguments, you must provide the exact same number:

    struct Foo<T> { x: T }

    struct Bar<T> { x: Foo<T> }               // ok!
    struct Baz<S, T> { x: Foo<S>, y: Foo<T> } // ok!

    fn foo<T, U>(x: T, y: U) {}
    fn f() {}

    fn main() {
        let x: bool = true;
        foo::<bool, u32>(x, 12);              // ok!
        f();                                  // ok!
    }
