rustrust string borrow


A Rust string borrow is a type of borrowing that allows a string to be used without taking ownership of it. This is done by creating a reference to the string, which can then be used to access the string's contents.

Example code

let s = String::from("hello");
let s_ref = &s;
println!("{}", s_ref);

Output example

hello

In the example code, the let s = String::from("hello") line creates a String object with the value "hello". The let s_ref = &s line creates a reference to the String object, which is stored in the s_ref variable. The println!("{}", s_ref) line prints out the value of the String object, which is "hello".
