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
