 ### Implement a SearchBooks method using the Chat view
 
-There's one step remaining to implement the "book availability" updates, create the `SearchBooks` method. The `SearchBooks` method will read a user provided book title, check if a book is available for loan, and display a message indicating the book's availability status.

You'll use the Chat view to evaluate the requirements and implement the **SearchBooks** method.
 
 GitHub Copilot's Chat view provides a conversational and interactive environment that isn't available when using inline chat. You can use the Chat view to ask questions, request code suggestions, and get explanations for the code generated by GitHub Copilot. The Chat view supports the following three modes:
 
 - Ask mode: Ask mode is used to gain a better understanding of your codebase, brainstorm ideas, and help with coding tasks. The code suggestions generated in Ask mode can be implemented directly into your codebase or copied to the clipboard.
 - Edit mode: Edit mode is used to make changes to your code, such as refactoring or adding new features. Edit mode can make edits across multiple files in your project.
 - Agent mode: Agent mode is used to define a high-level task and to start an agentic code editing session to accomplish that task. In agent mode, Copilot autonomously plans the work needed and determines the relevant files and context. The agent can make changes to your code, run tests, and even deploy your application.
