```rust
macro_rules! println {

Macros are defined through one or more rules, which are similar to `match` arms. The `println` macro has two rules: The first rule is for invocations with a single argument (e.g. `println!("Hello")`) and the second rule is for invocations with additional parameters (e.g. `println!("{}{}", 4, 2)`).
Macros are defined through one or more rules, which are similar to `match` arms. The `println` macro has three rules: The first rule for is invocations without arguments (e.g `println!()`), the second rule is for invocations with a single argument (e.g. `println!("Hello")`) and the third rule is for invocations with additional parameters (e.g. `println!("{}{}", 4, 2)`).
Both rules simply append a newline character (`\n`) to the format string and then invoke the [`print!` macro], which is defined as:
First line just prints a `\n` symbol which literally means "don't print anything, just break the line".
Last two rules simply append a newline character (`\n`) to the format string and then invoke the [`print!` macro], which is defined as:
