What Doesn't Happen

Next we'll complete our expression with this:

let bravo = alfa;

Becasue alfa became the owner of our String value when we did this:

let alfa = String::from("apple");

It's natural to think bravo would become the owner of alfa when we completed our expression with let bravo = alfa;

If that were the case, we'd get something that looks like this:

We would then be able to get at our String value from both alfa and bravo. (alfa would be direct and bravo would go through alfa).

But, that's not what happens.
