	28	+1. Adding an Area() function with a very similar anatomy to Circumference() is easy because it only requires adding new code.
	29	+1. Adding a new datatype, Rectangle, is harder because it requires touching existing code, namely any functions like Circumference() or Area() that need to be enabled handle this datatype.
