+// 1. If the length of the provided string is 0, then return an error

+// 3. Extract the first element from the split operation and use it as the name
+// 4. Extract the other element from the split operation and parse it into a `usize` as the age
+// If while parsing the age, something goes wrong, then return an error
+// Otherwise, then return a Result of a Person object
