So in this case, a disc would be, can be, like an SSD solid state drive or a spin drive, which is an HTD. And in some situations, and we'll see this a little bit later, these can also hold a little bit data. These can have like an unsigned 32 bit size of an integer, and we can definitely do that. Now, as always, you can add the, the derived debug property onto the enums, just like you would do for structs as well. In this case, I didn't add one to the disk type, because I'm definitely trying to print out the disk size. So, okay, so how do you use them?
