Give lines a name
// A job is lines with a name

Rocket, Raven, and Nova the drone-bird together

Give lines a name!

Raven reads the auto-pilot program again.

She finds lines that start with the word do.

Rocket asks what do means.

Nova beeps. Do runs a job!

A job is a group of lines with a name.

Raven wants to learn how jobs work.

A job card named takeoff holding three lines

Meet a job

job takeoff: gives the job a name.

The lines under it belong to the job.

Coders call a job a function.

What do you notice?

Naming a job does not run it.

Its lines wait on the job card.

A do line runs them.
