# Error code E0283

An implementation cannot be chosen unambiguously because of lack of information.

Erroneous code example:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    struct Foo;

    impl Into<u32> for Foo {
        fn into(self) -> u32 { 1 }
    }

    let foo = Foo;
    let bar: u32 = foo.into() * 1u32;
    }

This error can be solved by adding type annotations that provide the missing information to the compiler. In this case, the solution is to specify the trait's type parameter:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    struct Foo;

    impl Into<u32> for Foo {
        fn into(self) -> u32 { 1 }
    }

    let foo = Foo;
    let bar: u32 = Into::<u32>::into(foo) * 1u32;
    }
