​ “Ah, I see where you’re going with this…” Erik said. “You can import modules (groups of code written by others that you can use). For example, Python has a math module that you can use to do advanced math. To use these modules, you import them!”

​ “Well, Erik, you tied that up like a nice little bow!” Jack announced. “So, back to counting slower – write this code in the text editor:”

import time

counter = 0

print (counter)

time.sleep(.5)

counter = counter + 1

print (counter)

time.sleep(.5)

counter = counter + 2

print (counter)

time.sleep(.5)

counter = counter + 3

print (counter)

time.sleep(.5)

counter = counter - 6

print (counter)

time.sleep(.5)

​ “Save and execute your code. We counted with each number .5 seconds (half a second) apart!” Jack explained. “time.sleep is one of the functions (code that can be reused) included in the time module (code written by others that we can use), for causing delays in our programs.”

​ “Interesting,” Erik said. “It’s that time again: challenge time! Okay, magical reader, write, save and run this code in the text editor:”

● Create a list and display (print) the whole thing,

● Print one value from the list, and

● Use the counter to count from 1 to 10 with a one second delay between each number.

​ While the reader completed the challenge, Erik and Jack rode a rocket into outer space to test something out. Once they were near the moon, they gazed back at Earth.

​ “Just as we thought,” Erik said. “We can see the reader’s awesomeness from space!”

​ “Houston, we don’t have a problem,” Jack announced.

​ “I think some people aren’t going to get that…”

​ “Well, they just need to watch the movie Apollo 13 .”

​ “If we are recommending movies, I have a few that-”

​ “Erik!” Jack interrupted, “the book. The book, Erik.”

​ “My apologies, Jackalope. Let’s start the next chapter now.”
