+This code declares the main function. The main function is special- it will always get called exactly one time and is always the 'main' part of your program. If this isn't in your program, your program can't run and won't compile.
 
 Starting the function declaration with `int` means that this function will give an `int` or integer value when it compiles the code- it's this function's output. `int` is the 'integer' data type, and integers are whole numbers like -3, 0, or 18. So we know that this code will run, and when it's done, it will give us back an integer. By convention, the integer has a `garbage value`.
