In the above example, try the following:
* Move the declaration of `p2` and `p3` into a a new scope (`{ ... }`). You have to declare `p3` as `let p3: &Point;`, in `main`'s scope before that new block, and in the block assign to `p3` without the `let` (just `p3 = left_most(...)`). Note how this does not compile since `p3` outlives `p2`.
* Move the declaration of `p2` and `p3` into a a new scope (`{ ... }`), resulting in the following code:
```rust,editable
#[derive(Debug)]
struct Point(i32, i32);
fn left_most<'a>(p1: &'a Point, p2: &'a Point) -> &'a Point {
if p1.0 < p2.0 { p1 } else { p2 }
}
fn main() {
let p1: Point = Point(10, 10);
let p3: &Point;
{
let p2: Point = Point(20, 20);
p3 = left_most(&p1, &p2);
}
println!("left-most point: {:?}", p3);
}
```
Note how this does not compile since `p3` outlives `p2`.
* Reset the workspace and change the function signature to `fn left_most<'a, 'b>(p1: &'a Point, p2: &'a Point) -> &'b Point`. This will not compile because the relationship between the lifetimes `'a` and `'b` is unclear.
