+// errors6.rs
+
+// Using catch-all error types like `Box<dyn error::Error>` isn't recommended
+// for library code, where callers might want to make decisions based on the
+// error content, instead of printing it out or propagating it further. Here,
+// we define a custom error type to make it possible for callers to decide
+// what to do next when our function returns an error.
+
+// Make these tests pass! Execute `rustlings hint errors6` for hints :)
+
+// I AM NOT DONE
+
+// This is a custom error type that we will be using in `parse_pos_nonzero()`.
