+	  'it' is a const iterator which is (kind of) a pointer? Kinda?
+	  It points towards the first element (cbegin()). Which is a string.
+	  But we want to use methods from the string class. So we have to use the
+	  arrow operator to access that method.
+
+	  I've used C before so i am a bit familiar with using the arrow operator
+	  in structs. Though i will say that this does feel a bit different because
+	  classes in this language dont just have data types in the structs but also
+	  methods so yeah i guess it makes sense that we use the -> arrow operator
+	  to access those methods. If we were to access a method but directly on a string
+	  (not through a pointer / iterator) then yeah we would be using the . operator.
+
+	  So i guess this all makes sense. I just had to write this text to get everything
+	  clear in my head
