//
// Struct types are always "anonymous" until we give them a name:
//
// struct {};
//
// So far, we've been giving struct types a name like so:
//
// const Foo = struct {};
//
// * The value of @typeName(Foo) is "<filename>.Foo".
//
// A struct is also given a name when you return it from a
// function:
//
// fn Bar() type {
// return struct {};
// }
//
// const MyBar = Bar(); // store the struct type
// const bar = Bar() {}; // create instance of the struct
//
// * The value of @typeName(Bar()) is "Bar()".
// * The value of @typeName(MyBar) is "Bar()".
// * The value of @typeName(@TypeOf(bar)) is "Bar()".
//
// You can also have completely anonymous structs. The value
// of @typeName(struct {}) is "struct:<position in source>".
//
const print = @import("std").debug.print;
// This function creates a generic data structure by returning an
// anonymous struct type (which will no longer be anonymous AFTER
// it's returned from the function).

return struct {

radius: T,

//
// See if you can complete these two variable initialization
// expressions to create instances of circle struct types
// which can hold these values:
//
// * circle1 should hold i32 integers
// * circle2 should hold f32 floats
//
const circle1 = Circle(i32){
.center_x = 25,
.center_y = 70,

// Perhaps you remember the "narcissistic fix" for the type name
// in Ex. 065? We're going to do the same thing here: use a hard-
// coded slice to return the type name. That's just so our output
// looks prettier. Indulge your vanity. Programmers are beautiful.
