    Calculate the volume of a cube in idiomatic JavaScript.
    -------------------------------------------------------
    A cube has equal side lengths. If each side has length "side",
    the volume is:

        volume = side ** 3

    JavaScript supports exponentiation using the ** operator,
    which is fast, clear, and idiomatic.
*/

/**
 * Compute the volume of a cube.
 * @param {number} side - Length of one side (must be non-negative).
 * @returns {number} The cube's volume.
 */
function cubeVolume(side) {
    if (side < 0) {
        throw new Error("Side length must be non-negative");
    }

    // Idiomatic exponentiation in modern JavaScript
    return side ** 3;
}

// Main
const side = 7;

console.log("Side length:", side);
console.log("Volume of cube:", cubeVolume(side));


/*
run:

Side length: 7
Volume of cube: 343

*/
