rustHow do I copy a string in Rust?

Copying a string in Rust is done using the to_owned() method. This method creates a new owned string from a string slice.

Example code

let s = "Hello World";
let s_copy = s.to_owned();

Output example

Hello World

The to_owned() method takes a string slice and creates a new owned string from it. The new string is a deep copy of the original string, meaning that any changes made to the new string will not affect the original string.

Code explanation

• let s = "Hello World";: This line creates a string literal and assigns it to the variable s.
• let s_copy = s.to_owned();: This line creates a new owned string from the string slice s and assigns it to the variable s_copy.
