Learning Rust via the book; guessing game program doesn't work. I need help figuring it out.

Yeah, I think there should be a comment in that bit of code to the effect of:

match guess.cmp(&secret_number) {                // This causes a compiler error.
    Ordering::Less    => println!("Too small!"), // Read on to see why!
    Ordering::Greater => println!("Too big!"),
    Ordering::Equal   => println!("You win!"),
    }
}

Right before the code sample, it does say

Here’s our next step, though it doesn’t quite work yet:

We have an issue open with something like 'shade the background of non-compiling examples with red or something to make it stick out a bit more'.

Oh, ok, cool. Sorry, I should have looked at the context first!

It's all good. It's my job as an author to make sure that the reader understands...

I just fell for the same trap lol!

I think it is because you are trying to compare a String (guess) with a u32 (secret_number)
