Instead of placing the link to the recommended resource i.e. the second edition in second place, push it up to the top of the list. In fact, push the link to the first edition always at the bottom. To emphasise even more that's where new visitors should go, bolden the first link, and make the first-ed link smaller. All this as well as a slight edit and simplification of the copy is designed to make the new and recommended resources the primary path readers take, without hiding the old resource completely.

> Methods are different from functions in that they’re defined within the context of a struct, and their first parameter is always `self`, which represents the instance of the struct the method is being called on.

```rust
|
||
# struct Rectangle {
|
||
# width: u32,
|
||
# height: u32,
|
||
# }
|
||
|
||
impl Rectangle {
|
||
fn area(&self) -> u32 {
|
||
self.width * self.height
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
