The `object IsInt` with the `.unapply` method is called an extractor. It allows to define patterns to match on. Here it will give me a number if it can parse it from a string

The `findPartsAndSymbols` does the parsing and returns a collection of `PartNumber` and `Symbol`. What we want to match on is either a number or a symbol (which is anything except the `.` and a `digit`). The regex match gives us some information (such as starting / ending position of the matched string) which we use to create the `PartNumber` and `Symbol` instances.
