@ -16,11 +16,11 @@ Rust has two main types of strings: `&str` and `String`. Let’s talk about
`&'static str`:
```rust
let string = "Hello there."; // string: &'static str
let greeting = "Hello there."; // greeting: &'static str
```
This string is statically allocated, meaning that it’s saved inside our
compiled program, and exists for the entire duration it runs. The `string`
compiled program, and exists for the entire duration it runs. The `greeting`
