rustHow do I borrow a string in Rust?


You can borrow a string in Rust by using the & operator. This operator creates a reference to the string, allowing you to use the string without taking ownership of it.

For example:

let s1 = String::from("hello");
let s2 = &s1;

This code creates a String called s1 and then creates a reference to it called s2.

Code explanation

  • let s1 = String::from("hello");: This creates a String called s1 with the value "hello".
  • let s2 = &s1;: This creates a reference to s1 called s2.
