Borrowing, References, and Slices

Borrowing allows accessing data without taking ownership. Immutable borrows (&T) permit multiple read-only references, while mutable borrows (&mut T) allow one exclusive reference that can modify data. Slices (&[T], &str) are references to contiguous sequences, enabling safe access to portions of data.
