Fix Rust error E0599 by implementing the missing trait or correcting the type to ensure the method exists.

Error E0599 occurs because the type you are using does not have the method you are trying to call, often due to a missing trait implementation or incorrect type. Implement the required trait for your type or ensure you are calling the method on the correct type to resolve the error.

use std::fmt::Display;

struct Number(i32);

impl Display for Number {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
        write!(f, "{}", self.0)
    }
}

fn main() {
    let n = Number(42);
    println!("{n}"); // Now works because Display is implemented
}
