var res = add10To(5); // => 15

	* VH and VW units can cause issues on iOS devices: http://caniuse.com/#feat=viewport-units
	*
	* To overcome this, create media queries that target the width, height, and orientation of iOS devices.
	* It isn't optimal, but there is really no other way to solve the problem. In this example, I am fixing
	* the height of element `.foo` —which is a full width and height cover image.
