//
// It seems we got a little carried away making everything "const u8"!
//
// "const" values cannot change.
// "u" types are "unsigned" and cannot store negative values.
// "8" means the type is 8 bits in size.
//
// Example: foo cannot change (it is CONSTant)
// bar can change (it is VARiable):
//
// const foo: u8 = 20;
// var bar: u8 = 20;
//
// Example: foo cannot be negative and can hold 0 to 255
// bar CAN be negative and can hold 128 to 127
//
// const foo: u8 = 20;
// var bar: i8 = -20;
//
// Example: foo can hold 8 bits (0 to 255)
// bar can hold 16 bits (0 to 65,535)
//
// const foo: u8 = 20;
// const bar: u16 = 2000;
//
// You can do just about any combination of these that you can think of:
//
// u32 can hold 0 to 4,294,967,295
// i64 can hold 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
//
// Please fix this program so that the types can hold the desired values
// and the errors go away!

// Perhaps you noticed before that the print function takes two
// parameters. Now it will make more sense: the first parameter
// is a string. The string may contain placeholders '{}', and the
// second parameter is an "anonymous list literal" (don't worry
// about this for now!) with the values to be printed.
