(Brina Lee - Instagram Engineer)[br]A function is pretty much a sequence of instructions

0:00:04.350,0:00:06.100
to perform a specific task.

0:00:06.100,0:00:08.109
Basically if you're building a car,

0:00:08.109,0:00:11.200
what you want the car to do is what a function is.

0:00:11.200,0:00:12.800
Turn right, you want to turn left,

0:00:12.800,0:00:15.200
you want it to drive, you want it to stop.

0:00:15.200,0:00:17.100
All those could be functions.

0:00:17.100,0:00:18.300
Now that we're back with our farmer,

0:00:18.300,0:00:20.800
we're going to start learning how to define functions.

0:00:20.800,0:00:22.200
You'll notice in your workspace

0:00:22.200,0:00:24.700
that there's a block that has a star in the corner.

0:00:24.779,0:00:26.800
This is a function definition.

0:00:26.800,0:00:30.000
At the top line of the block it tells us the name of the function.

0:00:30.000,0:00:32.700
The blocks inside of it tell us what it does.

0:00:32.700,0:00:34.800
This definition sits in the workspace,

0:00:34.800,0:00:36.680
but our farmer won't do the actions

0:00:36.680,0:00:40.000
inside the function, until we drag out the function block.

0:00:40.000,0:00:43.500
To do that, we need to click on the functions category in the menu

0:00:43.500,0:00:46.000
and drag out the "fill 5" function.

0:00:46.000,0:00:49.000
Let's put the fun back into functions!
