// The Rust compiler needs to know how to check whether supplied references are
|
|
// valid, so that it can let the programmer know if a reference is at risk of
|
|
// going out of scope before it is used. Remember, references are borrows and do
|
|
// not own their own data. What if their owner goes out of scope?
|
|
//
|
|
// Execute `rustlings hint lifetimes1` or use the `hint` watch subcommand for a
|
|
// hint.

// I AM NOT DONE
