 * @param {number} b - Second number
 * @returns {number} The sum of a and b
 */"""

parsed = parse_jsdoc(jsdoc_str)
print(parsed)
# Output: {'description': 'Calculates the sum of two numbers', 'params': [{'name': 'a', 'type': 'number', 'description': 'First number'}, {'name': 'b', 'type': 'number', 'description': 'Second number'}], 'returns': {'type': 'number', 'description': 'The sum of a and b'}}

# Modify the parsed object
parsed['params'][0]['description'] = 'Modified description'
