-# Smart Pointers
-
-In Rust, smart pointers are variables that contain an address in memory and reference some other data, but they also have additional metadata and capabilities.
-Smart pointers in Rust often own the data they point to, while references only borrow data.

-// In this exercise, we are given a Vec of u32 called "numbers" with values
-// ranging from 0 to 99 -- [ 0, 1, 2, ..., 98, 99 ] We would like to use this
-// set of numbers within 8 different threads simultaneously. Each thread is
-// going to get the sum of every eighth value, with an offset.
-//
-// The first thread (offset 0), will sum 0, 8, 16, ...
-// The second thread (offset 1), will sum 1, 9, 17, ...
-// The third thread (offset 2), will sum 2, 10, 18, ...
-// ...
-// The eighth thread (offset 7), will sum 7, 15, 23, ...
-//
-// Because we are using threads, our values need to be thread-safe. Therefore,
-// we are using Arc. We need to make a change in each of the two TODOs.
-//
-// Make this code compile by filling in a value for `shared_numbers` where the
-// first TODO comment is, and create an initial binding for `child_numbers`
-// where the second TODO comment is. Try not to create any copies of the

-// box1.rs
-//
-// At compile time, Rust needs to know how much space a type takes up. This
-// becomes problematic for recursive types, where a value can have as part of
-// itself another value of the same type. To get around the issue, we can use a
-// `Box` - a smart pointer used to store data on the heap, which also allows us
-// to wrap a recursive type.
-//
-// The recursive type we're implementing in this exercise is the `cons list` - a
-// data structure frequently found in functional programming languages. Each
-// item in a cons list contains two elements: the value of the current item and
-// the next item. The last item is a value called `Nil`.
-//
-// Step 1: use a `Box` in the enum definition to make the code compile
-// Step 2: create both empty and non-empty cons lists by replacing `todo!()`
-//
-// Note: the tests should not be changed
-//
-// Execute `rustlings hint box1` or use the `hint` watch subcommand for a hint.
