// This import statement gives you access to all parts of the Coda Packs SDK.

// This line creates your new Pack.
export const pack = coda.newPack();

// Here, we add a new formula to this Pack.
pack.addFormula({
  // This is the name that will be called in the formula builder.
  // Remember, your formula name cannot have spaces in it.

  // If your formula requires one or more inputs, you’ll define them here.

  // returning a simple text string.

  // Everything inside this execute statement will happen anytime your Coda
  // formula is called in a doc. An array of all user inputs is always the 1st
  // parameter.
