How can I update a value in a mutable HashMap?

Question

Here is what I am trying to do:

use std::collections::HashMap;

fn main() {
    let mut my_map = HashMap::new();
    my_map.insert(\"a\", 1);
    my_map.inse

I will share my own Answer because I had this issue but I was working with Structs so, that way in my case was a little bit tricky

use std::collections::HashMap;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct ExampleStruct {
    pub field1: usize,
    pub field2: f64,
}

fn main() {
    let mut example_map = HashMap::new();
    &example_map.insert(1usize, ExampleStruct { field1: 50, field2: 184.0});
    &example_map.insert(6usize, ExampleStruct { field1: 60, field2: 486.0});

    //First Try
    (*example_map.get_mut(&1).unwrap()).field1 += 55; //50+55=105
    (*example_map.get_mut(&6).unwrap()).field1 -= 25; //60-25=35

    //Spliting lines
    let op_elem = example_map.get_mut(&6);
    let elem = op_elem.unwrap();
    (*elem).field2 = 200.0;

    let op_ok_elem = example_map.get_mut(&1);
    let elem = op_ok_elem.unwrap_or_else(|| panic!("This msg should not appear"));
    (*elem).field2 = 777.0;

    println!("Map at this point: {:?}", example_map);
    let op_err_elem = example_map.get_mut(&8);
    let _elem = op_err_elem.unwrap_or_else(|| panic!("Be careful, check you key"));

    println!("{:?}", example_map);
}
