1 //! Unicode string slices.
3 //! *[See also the `str` primitive type](str).*
5 //! The `&str` type is one of the two main string types, the other being `String`.
6 //! Unlike its `String` counterpart, its contents are borrowed.
10 //! A basic string declaration of `&str` type:
13 //! let hello_world = "Hello, World!";
16 //! Here we have declared a string literal, also known as a string slice.
17 //! String literals have a static lifetime, which means the string `hello_world`
18 //! is guaranteed to be valid for the duration of the entire program.
19 //! We can explicitly specify `hello_world`'s lifetime as well:
22 //! let hello_world: &'static str = "Hello, world!";
