```elm
elm-repl
---- elm-repl 0.17.1
-----------------------------------------------------------
 :help for help, :exit to exit, more at <
https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-repl>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> over9000 powerLevel = if powerLevel > 9000 then "It's over 9000!!!" else
"meh"
<function> : number -> String
> over9000 80
"meh" : String
>
```
