// This exercise explores the `Cow` (Clone-On-Write) smart pointer. It can
// enclose and provide immutable access to borrowed data and clone the data
// lazily when mutation or ownership is required. The type is designed to work
// with general borrowed data via the `Borrow` trait.

for ind in 0..input.len() {

// Clones into a vector if not already owned.
input.to_mut()[ind] = -value;
}
