add_book method of library throws cannot borrow as mutable without declaring library as mut about comprehensive-rust HOT 1 CLOSED

Hey @rhapsodyai,

Adding mut to the library declaration seems to make it compile, though my impression was that we should not have to change the code in main

That is indeed what you need to do to solve this exercise 😄 There are actually solutions for most exercises — though they're not linked from the exercise page itself to avoid spoiling it for people.

Would it help if we move up the comment found in main? Right now it says

fn main() {
    // This shows the desired behavior. Uncomment the code below and
    // implement the missing methods. You will need to update the
    // method signatures, including the "self" parameter!
    let library = Library::new();

We could move the part about updating the method signatures to just below impl Library.

Would you be up for sending a PR wih that change? Please add Fixes: #99 to the commit message if you do so that this issue can be auto-closed.
