/*
    For values that use ownership-based memory management
    (e.g. String, List, Grid)
    we must transfer ownership if we want to keep them
    alive for longer than their owner's scope
*/
import basics
func main {
    everyone <String> List = getEveryoneAttending()
    each fullname String in everyone {
        print("=> " + fullname)
    }
}
func getEveryoneAttending() <String> List {
    everyone <String> List
    person1 String = getFullnameReturnImmediately("Alice", "Golden")
    person2 String = getFullnameStoreAndThenLaterReturn("Bob", "Johnson")
    // Commit ownership of strings held by 'person1' and 'person2'
    // to be managed by the list
    everyone.add(person1.commit())
    everyone.add(person2.commit())
    // Commit ownership of the list to the caller
    return everyone.commit()
}
func getFullnameReturnImmediately(firstname, lastname String) String {
    // '.commit()' is not necessary here
    return firstname + " " + lastname
}
func getFullnameStoreAndThenLaterReturn(firstname, lastname String) String {
    fullname String = firstname + " " + lastname
    // Ownership of the result is held by 'fullname',
    // so we must transfer ownership to the caller in order
    // to keep it alive after this function returns
    // '.commit()' is necessary here
    return fullname.commit()
