// Believe it or not, sometimes things to wrong in programs.

// In Zig, an error is a value. Errors are named so we can identify
// things that can go wrong. Errors are created in "error sets", which
// are just a collection of named errors.
//
// We have the start of an error set, but we're missing the condition
// "TooSmall". Please add it where needed!
