 ```
+Note: You cannot use the vector again once you have iterated with ownership of the vector.
+You can iterate the vector multiple times with reference iteration. For example, the following
+code does not compile.
+```rust
+let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
+for i in v {
+    println!("Take ownership of the vector and its element {}", i);
+}
+for i in v {
+    println!("Take ownership of the vector and its element {}", i);
+}
+```
+Whereas the following works perfectly,
 
+```rust
+let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
+for i in &v {
+    println!("A mutable reference to {}", i);
+}
+
+for i in &v {
+    println!("A mutable reference to {}", i);
+}
+```
 Vectors have many more useful methods, which you can read about in [their
 API documentation][vec].
