This post demonstrates various code block examples with syntax highlighting. It's useful for testing how different programming languages are displayed in the blog.

// A simple JavaScript function to calculate factorial
function factorial(n) {
  if (n === 0 || n === 1) {
    return 1;
  }
  return n * factorial(n - 1);
}

// Example usage
const num = 5;
console.log(`The factorial of ${num} is ${factorial(num)}`);

// ES6 arrow function example
const square = (x) => x * x;
console.log(`The square of 4 is ${square(4)}`);

# A Python class example
class Calculator:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.result = 0
    
    def add(self, x, y):
        self.result = x + y
        return self.result
    
    def subtract(self, x, y):
        self.result = x - y
        return self.result
    
    def multiply(self, x, y):
        self.result = x * y
        return self.result
    
    def divide(self, x, y):
        if y == 0:
            raise ValueError("Cannot divide by zero!")
        self.result = x / y
        return self.result

# Create an instance and use it
calc = Calculator("MyCalculator")
print(f"Addition: {calc.add(10, 5)}")
print(f"Subtraction: {calc.subtract(10, 5)}")
print(f"Multiplication: {calc.multiply(10, 5)}")
print(f"Division: {calc.divide(10, 5)}")

This post demonstrates how code blocks with syntax highlighting appear in the blog. The highlighting is handled by the highlight.js library that's included in the project.
