# Ejemplo: cotas vacías

A consequence of how bounds work is that even if a `trait` doesn’t include any functionality, you can still use it as a bound. `Eq` and `Copy` are examples of such `trait`s from the `std` library.

    struct Cardinal;
    struct BlueJay;
    struct Turkey;

    trait Red {}
    trait Blue {}

    impl Red for Cardinal {}
    impl Blue for BlueJay {}

    // These functions are only valid for types which implement these
    // traits. The fact that the traits are empty is irrelevant.
    fn red<T: Red>(_: &T)   -> &'static str { "red" }
    fn blue<T: Blue>(_: &T) -> &'static str { "blue" }

    fn main() {
        let cardinal = Cardinal;
        let blue_jay = BlueJay;
        let _turkey   = Turkey;

        // `red()` won't work on a blue jay nor vice versa
        // because of the bounds.
        println!("A cardinal is {}", red(&cardinal));
        println!("A blue jay is {}", blue(&blue_jay));
        //println!("A turkey is {}", red(&_turkey));
        // ^ TODO: Try uncommenting this line.
    }
