+You gave too many lifetime parameters. Erroneous code example:
+
+```
+fn f() {}
+
+fn main() {

+Please check you give the right number of lifetime parameters. Example:

+```
+fn f() {}

+
+It's also important to note that the Rust compiler can generally
+determine the lifetime by itself. Example:
+
+```
+struct Foo {
+    value: String
+}
+
+impl Foo {
+    // it can be written like this
+    fn get_value<'a>(&'a self) -> &'a str { &self.value }
+    // but the compiler works fine with this too:
+    fn without_lifetime(&self) -> &str { &self.value }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let f = Foo { value: "hello".to_owned() };
