	Design a struct named Real whose member properties may only be of type Int or Bool. Define initializers: init(_ d:Double) init(_ n:Int) Define functions for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. All such functions should take the form: func operationName(_ other:Real) -> Real These functions should be named add, subtract, multiply, and divide
