+A more concrete example:

+```rust
+fn main() {
+    // Don't worry if you don't understand how `fold` works, the point here is that an immutable reference is borrowed.
+    fn sum_vec(v: &Vec<i32>) -> i32 {
+        return v.iter().fold(0, |a, &b| a + b);

 Instead of taking `Vec<i32>`s as our arguments, we take a reference:
 `&Vec<i32>`. And instead of passing `v1` and `v2` directly, we pass `&v1` and
 `&v2`. We call the `&T` type a ‘reference’, and rather than owning the resource,
