    // shifting the cursor to the right, without shifting the display, with a blinking cursor.
    // These defaults can be changed after creating the LCD object
    
    // Set the line count, and font size:

    // Shift the cursor to the right after each character.
    // We pass false as the second parameter, indicating to not shift the entire display.

    // Turn on the display. First parameter indicates if we should have a cursor, and the 
    // second parameter indicates if the cursor should blink.
    // Both of these parameters are optional.

    // All that is left now is to write to the display!
