Step 4

TODO: Can variables have owners? And does this page use the right language?

Let's look at what does happen starting with a review of Step 3 where:

1. The alfa variable has been created
2. The String::from("apple") value has been created and bound to alfa making the variable its owner
3. We've made the first half of the expression to bind alfa to bravo

Our illustration looked like this:

Now we can complete the expression with:

let bravo = alfa;

That assignment doesn't make bravo the owner of alfa. Instead the value that's insdie alfa gets moved into bravo and bravo becomes the owner.
