// Let's see if we can make use of some of the things we've learned so far.
// We'll create two functions: one that contains a "for" loop and one
// that contains a "while" loop.
//
// Both of these are simply labeled "loop" below.
//
const std = @import("std");

const my_numbers = [4]u16{ 5, 6, 7, 8 };

// You won't see this every day: a function that takes an array with
// exactly four u16 numbers. This is not how you would normally pass
// an array to a function. We'll learn about slices and pointers in
// a little while. For now, we're using what we know.
//
// This function prints, but does not return anything.

// exercise. But don't be fooled! This one does the math without the aid
