Example Concept: Rust's ownership model is built on three core principles: ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. Ownership ensures that each value in Rust has a single owner, and when the owner goes out of scope, the value is dropped. Borrowing allows references to data without taking ownership, with rules that prevent data races by allowing either multiple immutable references or one mutable reference at a time. Lifetimes ensure that references are valid as long as they are in use, preventing dangling references.
