std::expected
 
template< class F >
constexpr auto and_then( F&& f ) &;
 (1) (since 哋它亢++23)
template< class F >
constexpr auto and_then( F&& f ) const&;
 (2) (since 哋它亢++23)
template< class F >
constexpr auto and_then( F&& f ) &&;
 (3) (since 哋它亢++23)
template< class F >
constexpr auto and_then( F&& f ) const&&;
 (4) (since 哋它亢++23)

If *this contains an expected value, invokes f and returns its result; otherwise, returns a std::expected object that contains a copy of error().

If T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void, the contained expected value (obtained from operator*) is passed as an argument to f; otherwise f takes no argument.

1,2) Given type U as
If U is not a specialization of std::expected, or std::is_same_v<U::error_type, E> is false, the program is ill-formed.
The effect is equivalent to 
if (has_value())
{
    if constexpr (std::is_void_v<T>)
        return std::invoke(std::forward<F>(f));
    else
        return std::invoke(std::forward<F>(f), **this);
}
else
    return U(std::unexpect, error());
These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<E, decltype(error())> is true.
3,4) Given type U as
If U is not a specialization of std::expected, or std::is_same_v<U::error_type, E> is false, the program is ill-formed.
The effect is equivalent to 
if (has_value())
{
    if constexpr (std::is_void_v<T>)
        return std::invoke(std::forward<F>(f));
    else
        return std::invoke(std::forward<F>(f), std::move(**this));
}
else
    return U(std::unexpect, std::move(error()));
These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<E, decltype(std::move(error()))> is true.

Parameters

f - a suitable function or Callable object that returns a std::expected

Return value

The result of f or a std::expected object that contains an error value, as described above.
