        // respectively. Using a simple replacement of these patterns will allow them

That when called, return instances of classes of the same name.

So, you import `Query`, which is a function. And when you call it, it returns an instance of a class also named `Query`.

These functions are there (instead of just using the classes directly) so that your editor doesn't mark errors about their types.

That way you can use your normal editor and coding tools without having to add custom configurations to disregard those errors.

With this you should have a basic understanding of what **environment variables** are and how to use them in Python.

You can also read more about them in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable" class="external-link" target="_blank">Wikipedia for Environment Variable</a>.

        final int start = bufferIndex;

        wordCount = buffer[bufferIndex];
        bufferIndex++;

        if (wordCount != 0) {
            /*
             * these fields are common to all andx commands
             * so let's populate them here
             */

            andxCommand = buffer[bufferIndex];
            andxOffset = readInt2(buffer, bufferIndex + 2);

## Conclusion { #conclusion }

If you read and understood all this, now **you know much more** about virtual environments than many developers out there. 🤓

Since HTTP requests frequently happen in parallel, connection pooling must be thread-safe.

        #### Utility: compare with alternatives


        There is always *some* alternative to adding a new feature to Guava, even if it's just
        forking Guava yourself.


        We want to see that new features have some significant advantage over the alternatives.
        These advantages can take
        [many forms](https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/PhilosophyExplained#utility), but taking
