Update implicit-conversions.md (#210)
I suggest to clarify that you only need to implement `From` and nobody really implements `Into` as soon as `From` is implemented. I decided to add a separate paragraph after the `i8` and `i16` example, as they provide intuitive understanding of reverse relationship between `From` and `Into`. Alternatively trying to explain `From` and `Into` in generic way sounds more confusing than just adding this sentence after the specific example.

@ -27,6 +27,9 @@ that we can convert a variable `x` of type `i8` to an `i16` by calling
|
||||
`i16::from(x)`. Or, simpler, with `x.into()`, because `From<i8> for i16`
|
||||
implementation automatically create an implementation of `Into<i16> for i8`.
|
||||
|
||||
The same applies for your own `From` implementations for your own types, so it is
|
||||
sufficient to only implement `From` to get a respective `Into` implementation automatically.
|

|
||||
1. Execute the above program and look at the compiler error.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Update the code above to use `into()` to do the conversion.
