We can use a trait object:

```rust,noplayground
{{#rustdoc_include ../listings/ch19-advanced-features/no-listing-19-returns-closure-trait-object/src/lib.rs}}
```

This code will compile just fine. For more about trait objects, refer to the

Or we can use the [`impl Trait` return type syntax][returning-types-that-implement-traits]<!-- ignore -->:

```rust,noplayground

Either of these snippets will compile just fine.
