"""
This exercise stub and the test suite contain several enumerated constants.

Enumerated constants can be done with a NAME assigned to an arbitrary,
but unique value. An integer is traditionally used because it’s memory
efficient.

It is a common practice to export both constants and functions that work with
those constants (ex. the constants in the os, subprocess and re modules).

You can learn more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumerated_type
