+When writing code, you MUST follow these principles:
+
+- No trailing whitespace.
+- Use types everywhere possible.
+- Only use comments when necessary, as they can become outdated. Instead, strive to make the code self-explanatory.
+- When comments are used, they should add useful information that is not readily apparent from the code itself.
+- Dictionaries that do not change during the runtime of the program must be
+  placed in top-level scope.
