This exercise will test the heap allocation of your function! So try your best to allocate the minimum data on the heap!

Notions

• stack and heap

Expected Function

pub fn initials(names: &mut Vec<&str>) -> Vec<String> {
}

Usage

Here is a program to test your function:

use name_initials::initials;

    let mut names = vec!["Harry Potter", "Someone Else", "J. L.", "Barack Obama"]
    println!("{:?}", initials(&mut names));
}
