Nitpick: it's
Vec<u8>
, notVec<char>
.Passing around references works, but then you have to deal with ownership issues. Often the motivation for cloning a
Vec
orString
is just to avoid dealing with lifetimes and to get ownership, but the mutability isn’t actually required. In these situations I think the video’s recommendation to use anArc
is actually a good one.
