Ownership is Rust’s most unique feature and has deep implications for the rest of the language. it enables Rust to make memory safety guarantees without needing a garbage collector.
Ownership is a set of rules that govern how a Rust program manages memory.
- Each value in Rust has an owner.
- There can only be one owner at a time.
- When the owner goes out of scope, the value will be dropped.
