Expand Up @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ An associated function for a trait was defined to be a method (i.e., to take a
`self` parameter), but an implementation of the trait declared the same function
to be static.

Here's an example of this error:
Erroneous code example:

When a type implements a trait's associated function, it has to use the same
signature. So in this case, since `Foo::foo` takes `self` as argument and
does not return anything, its implementation on `Bar` should be the same:

```
trait Foo {
fn foo(&self);
}

struct Bar;

impl Foo for Bar {
fn foo(&self) {} // ok!
}
```
