 The `simulate` function simulates our experiment (currently applying a Hadamard gate and reading the output state): `shots` dictates the amount of times to simulate the experiment, `get` decides the format in which we want the result of the experiment.
 
+With `get=memory`, `simulate` returns a list containing `shots` strings, each either `"0"` or `"1"`. We join these strings together and turn them into an integer using the `int` function and specifying base 2.
