-Here the `p` of `%p` is short for "pointer".
-
-This prints something like `0x7ffd85fd3db7`.
-This is a number written in hexadecimal,
-and it means `140726851419575`.
-Hexadecimal basically means that instead of representing numbers with 10 digits (`0`-`9`),
-we use 16 "digits" (`0`-`9` and then `a`-`f`).
-The prefix `0x` is a convention to indicate that the number is in heXadecimal.
-How exactly hexadecimal works is not really relevant here,
-but what matters is that we got some number.
-So:
+This prints something like `140726851419575`, so:
