 We’ve made a `struct` that represents a circle. We then write an `impl` block,
 and inside it, define a method, `area`.

+You can use as many `impl` blocks as you’d like. The previous example could
+have also been written like this:

 So, now we know how to call a method, such as `foo.bar()`. But what about our
