This is not ok, because you try to initialize a non-const reference with a=
=20
temporary string object.

This is ok, because of the assignment operator looks like:
operator=3D( const std::string&)

>         cout << s << "\n";

This is also ok, because the overloaded shift operator takes a constant=20
reference.
