So, `vec0` is passed into the `fill_vec` function as an argument. In Rust,
when an argument is passed to a function and it's not explicitly returned,
you can't use the original variable anymore. We call this "moving" a variable.
Variables that are moved into a function (or block scope) and aren't explicitly
returned get "dropped" at the end of that function. This is also what happens here.
There's a few ways to fix this, try them all if you want:
1. Make another, separate version of the data that's in `vec0` and pass that
When running this exercise for the first time, you'll notice an error about
"borrow of moved value". In Rust, when an argument is passed to a function and
it's not explicitly returned, you can't use the original variable anymore.
We call this "moving" a variable. When we pass `vec0` into `fill_vec`, it's being
"moved" into `vec1`, meaning we can't access `vec0` anymore after the fact.
Rust provides a couple of different ways to mitigate this issue, feel free to try them all:
1. You could make another, separate version of the data that's in `vec0` and pass that
to `fill_vec` instead.
2. Make `fill_vec` borrow its argument instead of taking ownership of it,
and then copy the data within the function in order to return an owned
`Vec<i32>`
3. Make `fill_vec` *mutably* borrow a reference to its argument (which will need to be
mutable), modify it directly, then not return anything. Then you can get rid
of `vec1` entirely -- note that this will change what gets printed by the
first `println!`"""
and then copy the data within the function (`vec.clone()`) in order to return an owned
`Vec<i32>`.
3. Or, you could make `fill_vec` *mutably* borrow a reference to its argument (which will need to be
mutable), modify it directly, then not return anything. This means that `vec0` will change over the
course of the function, and makes `vec1` redundant (make sure to change the parameters of the `println!`
statements if you go this route)
