Discussion:
A computer program is composed of chains of instructions.
Instead of having a single chain of instructions, we can divide the program to
procedures, which are short chains and give a name for each chain.
In a program, there is one main program and procedures. This way, when we run
the program, the computer knows where to start.
In this experiment, we shall build and use movement procedures.
At the end of the program we need to add an instruction, which returns the
program to the beginning (when we want the program to be executed repeatedly),
or stops the program and returns to the operating system.
