Note that we want the function to take string slices, which are references,
because we don’t want the `longest` function to take ownership of its
parameters. We want to allow the function to accept slices of a `String` (the
type stored in the variable `string1`) as well as string literals (which is
what variable `string2` contains).

use in Listing 10-20 are the ones we want.
