+* `&str` introduces a string slice, which is an immutable reference to UTF-8 encoded string data stored in a block of memory. String literals (`”Hello”`), are stored in the program’s binary.

+* Rust’s `String` type is a wrapper around a vector of bytes. As with a `Vec<T>`, it is mutable and owned.
