| When shared ownership between threads is needed, `Arc`(Atomic Reference Counted) can be used. This struct, via the `Clone` implementation can create a reference pointer for the location of a value in the memory heap while increasing the reference counter. As it shares ownership between threads, when the last reference pointer to a value is out of scope, the variable is dropped. | ||
