Rust's ownership model ensures memory safety without needing a garbage collector. Ownership rules are crucial for writing safe and efficient Rust code. Sometimes, beginners may write code that violates these rules. In this challenge, you will fix a piece of Rust code that has ownership rule violations.
Here are some important ownership rules to remember:
Before starting to solve the challenge, try to run the code and see what error you'll get. This will help you understand the problem better.
The compile error tells us that we can't borrow s
as mutable because it is also borrowed as immutable. If we borrow it as mutable, the value will change and the compiler can not guarantee that the immutable reference hasn't changed.
You are given a function calculate_and_modify
that violates Rust's ownership rules. Your task is to identify and fix the ownership rule violations in this function.
