Nil is roughly equivalent to `null` in other languages.
A question mark (?) after the type marks the value as optional of that type.

If a type is not optional, it is guaranteed to have a value.

Classes have additional capabilities that structures don't have:
- Inheritance enables one class to inherit the characteristics of another.
- Type casting enables you to check and interpret the type of a class instance at runtime.
- Deinitializers enable an instance of a class to free up any resources it has assigned.
- Reference counting allows more than one reference to a class instance.

Unless you need to use a class for one of these reasons, use a struct.
