// As a matter of fact, you can put 'comptime' in front of any

//
// Execute a function:
//
// comptime llama();
//
// Get a value:
//
// bar = comptime baz();
//
// Execute a whole block:
//
// comptime {
// bar = baz + biff();
// llama(bar);
// }
//
// Get a value from a block:
//
// var llama = comptime bar: {
// const baz = biff() + bonk();
// break :bar baz;
// }
//
const print = @import("std").debug.print;

// prevent mistakes. The 'comptime' keyword here means that
// the mistake will be caught when we compile!
//
// Without 'comptime', this would still work, but the
// assertion would fail at runtime with a PANIC, and that's
// not as nice.
//
// Unfortunately, we're going to get an error right now
// because the 'i' parameter needs to be guaranteed to be
// known at compile time. What can you do with the 'i'
// parameter above to make this so?

// Bonus fun fact: I accidentally replaced all instances of 'foo'
// with 'llama' in this exercise and I have no regrets!
