of scope, Rust calls a special function for us. This function is called `drop`,
of scope, Rust calls a special function for us. This function is called [`drop`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Drop.html#tymethod.drop),
and it’s where the author of `String` can put the code to return the memory.
Rust calls `drop` automatically at the closing curly bracket.
