rustHow to borrow box in Rust

Borrowing a box in Rust is a way to temporarily take ownership of a value without taking ownership of the value itself. This is done using the & operator.

let mut x = Box::new(5);
let y = &mut x;

The code above creates a Box containing the value 5, and then creates a reference to the Box called y. This reference can be used to access the value inside the Box without taking ownership of the Box itself.

The ## Code explanation

• let mut x = Box::new(5);: This line creates a Box containing the value 5.
• let y = &mut x;: This line creates a reference to the Box called y.
