.. code-block:: python

def add(num1, num2):
"""
Add up two integer numbers.

This function simply wraps the `+` operator, and does not
do anything interesting, except for illustrating what is
the docstring of a very simple function.

Parameters
----------
num1 : int
First number to add
num2 : int
Second number to add

Returns
-------
int
The sum of `num1` and `num2`

See Also
--------
subtract : Subtract one integer from another

Examples
--------
>>> add(2, 2)
4
>>> add(25, 0)
25
>>> add(10, -10)
0

return num1 + num2
