// For loops also let you use the "index" of the iteration, a number
// that counts up with each iteration. To access the index of iteration,
// specify a second condition as well as a second capture value.
//
// for (items, 0..) |item, index| {
//
// // Do something with item and index
//
// }
//
// You can name "item" and "index" anything you want. "i" is a popular
// shortening of "index". The item name is often the singular form of
// the items you're looping through.

// Now we'll convert the binary bits to a number value by adding
// the value of the place as a power of two for each bit.

// @intCast(), a builtin function just like @import().
