 * def = keyword used to define a function.
 * main = the function’s name.
 * (): the function takes no parameters.
 * -> None: this is a type hint indicating that the function returns nothing.
 * """ """ docstring (documentation string) for the main function.
    - It describes what the function is for.
 * a semicolon (;) is optional in Python and has no effect.
    - A semicolon is not required in Python because the language does not use semicolons 
      to terminate statements. Instead, Python relies on newline characters and 
      indentation to define code structure. However, semicolons can still be used when 
      you want to place multiple statements on the same line. In Python, a semicolon 
      functions as a separator rather than a terminator, meaning it simply divides two 
      statements. This is why writing a semicolon at the end of a single statement is 
      still legal. It effectively creates a second, empty statement. Semicolons are most 
      commonly used when writing Python one-liners, allowing you to combine several 
      statements into a compact, single line of code.

 * The semicolon is rarely used in Python as a statement terminator, since Python 
   treats it as a statement separator rather than a required ending symbol. When a 
   semicolon appears at the end of a line, the interpreter processes it as an empty 
   statement, which has no effect. However, I find it helpful to include semicolons 
   in my code because it gives me a sense of familiarity and reinforces habits from 
   languages like C and C++, where semicolons are required to terminate statements. 
   Keeping the semicolon in my Python syntax helps maintain consistency in my 
   programming mindset and prevents me from forgetting how statements must be 
   terminated when switching between Python and lower-level languages such as C or C++.
