| > A `String` is allocated on the heap and as such is able to store an amount of text that is unknown to us at compile time. |
| > You can create a `String` from a string literal using the `from` function. |
| > A _string slice_ is a reference to part of a `String`. |
| |
| ```rust |
| let s = String::from("hello world"); |
| |
| let hello = &s[0..5]; |
| let world = &s[6..11]; |
| ``` |
