Cannot convert 'this' pointer from 'const Foo' to 'Foo&' error

Hi Everyone i have a class Foo having a fooAddress member variable

Code in foo.h

Class Foo
{
String fooAddress() const;
void setFooAddress(String fooAddress)
....
String m_fooAddress;
}

Code in foo.cpp

String Foo::fooAddress() const
{
return m_fooAddress;
}

void Foo::setFooAddress(String fooAddress)
{
m_fooAddress = fooAddress;
}

Now i have a FooList Class which has a list of foos

Code in FooList.h

class FooList
{
 editFooList(Foo foo,int index);
 ...
 private:
 List<Foo> m_fooArray; 
 }

Now my code in FooList.cpp is

void FooList::editFooList(Foo foo, int index)
{
m_fooArray.at(index).setFooAddress(foo.fooAddress());
}

but i am getting the error error: C2662: 'void Foo::setFooAddress(String)' : cannot convert 'this' pointer from 'const Foo' to 'Foo &'

Since i have not defined editFooList as a const function,i am not sure why the compiler is complaining when i am trying to modify m_fooArray.Can someone please point me what i am doing wrong ?

i changed my code to

void FooList::editFooList(Foo foo, int index)
{
m_fooArray[index].setFooAddress(foo.fooAddress());
}

and it is compiling now
