Strings chapter: &String doesn't actually coerce to &str #21850

Closed

Description

@FreeFull

"Strings will coerece into &str with an &:

fn takes_slice(slice: &str) {
    println!("Got: {}", slice);
}

fn main() {
    let s = "Hello".to_string();
    takes_slice(&s);
}

"
This example should have &*s rather than &s, and the line above it should be reworded, since this isn't a coercion. (Note coerce is misspelled as coerece)
