 * I’m looking at this code from a sample on how to build an accordion menu. I am
   supposed to include this into my functions.php file. I think what it is doing
   is checking to see if the function register_sidebar exists and sending an array
   as a parameter. More importantly could someone elaborate on what the function
   is actually doing? I don’t understand this just yet.
 *     ```
       <?php
           if(function_exists('register_sidebar')){
               register_sidebar(array('name' => 'appleQuery'));
           }
       ?>
       ```
