-Vectors in Rust make use of generics to create dynamically sized arrays of any type.
-You need to tell the compiler what type we are pushing onto this vector."""
+Vectors in Rust use generics to create dynamically-sized arrays of any type.
+The last_on_list function takes a vector as an argument, but only accepts vectors that store the &str type.
+To allow the function to accept vectors that store any type, you can leverage your knowledge about generics.
+If you're unsure how to proceed, please refer to the Rust Book at:
