// vec.rsfn main() {    let mut numbers_vec: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();     numbers_vec.push(1);     numbers_vec.push(2);     let mut vec_with_macro = vec![1];     vec_with_macro.push(2);    let _ = vec_with_macro.pop();    // value ignored with `_`    let message = if numbers_vec == vec_with_macro {        "They are equal"    } else {        "Nah! They look different to me"    };    println!("{} {:?} {:?}", message, numbers_vec, vec_with_macro); }
