A newbie here.
Here is the code I'm talking about.
It works with the code on line 15, but if I comment that and uncomment the code on line 14, it stops working.
Why doesn't it work with .push_str, and how to make it work with it?
push_str mutates string in-place, it doesn't return the result. So you have to return the resulting string explicitly:
fn pluralize(s: String) -> String {
s.push_str("s");
s
}
For future reference, it's much better to copy-paste the code and format it according to the pinned topic and not post it as image, so that we can copy it and test locally or in the playground.
Thanks for answer.
It still does not work. Shows the following error.
error[E0596]: cannot borrow `s` as mutable, as it is not declared as mutable
--> main.rs:10:5

9 | fn pluralize(s: String) -> String {

10 | s.push_str("s");

Sorry for the mistake! I am a newbie, slowly I will learn things.
Here is the copied code.
fn main() {
let s = String::from("book");
let p = pluralize(s.clone());
println!("I have one {}, you have two {}", s, p,);
}
fn pluralize(s: String) -> String {
s.push_str("s");
s
}
Did you try that?
It still fails.
Here is the code in the Playground.
with making it mutable and then returning the s explicitly it worked.
Thank you both for helping!
