+> 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];
