type to have particular behavior. The compiler can then use the trait bound
information to check that all the concrete types used with our code provide the
correct behavior. In dynamically typed languages, we would get an error at
runtime if we called a method on a type which didn’t implement the type which
defines the method. But Rust moves these errors to compile time so we’re forced
to fix the problems before our code is even able to run. Additionally, we don’t
have to write code that checks for behavior at runtime because we’ve already
checked at compile time. Doing so improves performance without having to give
up the flexibility of generics.

Another kind of generic that we’ve already been using is called *lifetimes*.
Rather than ensuring that a type has the behavior we want, lifetimes ensure
