A variable was borrowed as mutable more than once. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail,E0499 let mut i = 0; let mut x = &mut i; let mut a = &mut i; x; // error: cannot borrow `i` as mutable more than once at a time ``` Please note that in Rust, you can either have many immutable references, or one mutable reference. For more details you may want to read the [References & Borrowing][references-and-borrowing] section of the Book. [references-and-borrowing]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html Example: ``` let mut i = 0; let mut x = &mut i; // ok! // or: let mut i = 0; let a = &i; // ok! let b = &i; // still ok! let c = &i; // still ok! b; a; ```
