Methods in structs
📖 Scenario: Imagine you are creating a simple app to keep track of books in a small library. Each book has a title and an author. You want to add a feature that shows a short description of the book using a method inside a struct.
🎯 Goal: You will create a Book struct with properties for the title and author. Then, you will add a method inside the struct that returns a description string combining the title and author. Finally, you will create a book instance and print its description.
