use std::fmt::Display;

// Make the struct generic over `T`.
//
// Note: We could also add the Display trait bound here at the struct level, i.e.,
// `struct ReportCard<T: Display> { ... }`. That would enforce that every `ReportCard` instance
// must have a grade that is displayable. However, by not placing the bound here, we allow
// the creation of `ReportCard` instances with non-displayable grades (but then we cannot use the `print` method).
// Since the main purpose of this struct is to be printable, it would also be reasonable to add the bound at the struct level.
// In this solution, we choose to put the bound only in the `impl` block to show that we can conditionally
// implement methods only when the type satisfies certain traits. This offers more flexibility in some advanced scenarios.

// To be able to print the grade, it has to implement the `Display` trait.

// Note: We implement the `print` method only for `ReportCard<T>` where `T` implements `Display`.
