The apostrophe needed in the syntax is confusing to me (...<'a>...)

You can also share buffers by having the two "Chars" point to the same buffer, like so below

-----

struct Chars<'a> {

data: &'a str,

}

fn process_chars<'a>(chars1: Chars<'a>, chars2: Chars<'a>) {

// Both chars1 and chars2 point to the same buffer

println!("Processing: {} and {}", chars1.data, chars2.data);

}

I'm really not good at any of this so please take this with less than two sats of my own worth here. Trying to help both yourself & my own C/C++ to Rust journey 💜

I was also told to pay better attention to the borrow checker's messages too
