Rust 101 - 10: Strings

What a String is in Rust, and how they differ from &str. Strings are resizeable arrays of bytes that are guaranteed to be in UTF-8 format. &strs are references to chunks of bytes that are also guaranteed to be in UTF-8 format. If you want to learn more about UTF-8 and character encodings, check out my video [Interesting Characters](https://diode.zone/w/gNpErrnzszRi55rtDzcubH).
