+// box1.rs
+//
+// At compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up. This
+// becomes problematic for recursive types, where a value can have as part of
+// itself another value of the same type. To get around the issue, we can use a
+// `Box` - a smart pointer used to store data on the heap, which also allows us
+// to wrap a recursive type.
+//
+// The recursive type we're implementing in this exercise is the `cons list` - a
+// data structure frequently found in functional programming languages. Each
+// item in a cons list contains two elements: the value of the current item and
+// the next item. The last item is a value called `Nil`.
+//
+// Step 1: use a `Box` in the enum definition to make the code compile
+// Step 2: create both empty and non-empty cons lists by replacing `todo!()`
+//
+// Note: the tests should not be changed
+//
+// Execute `rustlings hint box1` or use the `hint` watch subcommand for a hint.
+
+// I AM NOT DONE
