#CommonJS modules

##General Directions Use module.js to build your module. The comments will light the way. Use index.js to load up module.js and utilize it. Run index.js.

##Important topics ###require(string) require is a function provided to you in the global namespace under Node. It is used for loading a module for use in the current script or module. It takes a string and returns a module.

###module.exports Initially, your module will have two names for one object: module.exports and exports. By convention, and for practical reasons, exporting is done one of two ways:

1. Assigning properties to exports: exports.property = value;
2. Overwriting module.exports: module.exports = {}

The reasons why are detailed in the comments in module.js.
