'''
Explicit Wait command, the WebDriver is directed to wait until a certain condition occurs before proceeding with executing the code.
Setting Explicit Wait is important in cases where there are certain elements that naturally take more time to load

Implicit Wait directs the Selenium WebDriver to wait for a certain measure of time before throwing an exception.
Once this time is set, WebDriver will wait for the element before the exception occurs
