// Quiz time! Let's see if you can fix this whole program.

// Let the compiler tell you what's wrong.

    // Note: usize is an unsigned integer type used for...sizes.
    // The exact size of usize depends on the target CPU
    // architecture. We could have used a u8 here, but usize is
    // the idiomatic type to use for array indexing.

    // There IS a problem on this line, but 'usize' isn't it.

    // The following lines attempt to put 'Z', 'i', and 'g' into the
