creating sum functions as an exercise
// Sums all "number" arguments given. This includes floats by default.

// sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10); //=> 55
// sum(1, "hey", 2, "3", 4, "five", 6, 'hi!', 7, 8.2, 9, 10); //=> 47.2

add single-word boolean methods to String
class String

# for example, we can do things like "standard".standard? which will give us true
# obviously this is most suited for cases where you have a variable with a value from a known set of values
