+// Oh dear! It seems we got a little carried away making const u8 values.
+// * const means constant (cannot be changed)
+// * u8 means unsigned (cannot be negative), 8-bit integer
+//
+// Hint 1: Use 'var' for values that can change.
+// Hint 2: Use enough bits to hold the value you want:
+// u8 255
+// u16 65,535
+// u32 4,294,967,295
+// Hint 3: Use 'i' (e.g. 'i8', 'i16') for signed integers.
