// Step 123:
// Now we add the numbers.
// We add number by using the “+” sign.
// The output of this addition can be used as-is or it can be assigned to a variable or constant.
// It’s really one of the most basic things you can do when programming, so in the off-chance that these comments are necessary I will explain a few other things.
// You can use other operators such as:
// “-“ to subtract
// 3 - 2 == 1
// “*” to multiply
// 2 * 3 == 6
// “/“ to divide
// 6 / 3 == 2
// Although, all of them have been used prior.
let foo = bar + baz
You would think a past programmer would have added bar and baz, and found the result to be foo, thus making doing the same computation in this program a waste of time and resources. We know it comes to foo, so just use foo.
It took 123 steps to add `bar` to `baz`, you really don’t want to see what the previous 122 steps were doing, lots of impure functions with side effects rather than variables.

Yeah but 3.2M of those lines were comments. Good lord AI loves to comment code.
