As you learn more about coding techniques, it's very common to take any functionality that you want to execute more than one time and put it into a code block. So you could just refer to it and say, go do that, Go do that again, go do that a third time without having to have those lines of code in your program or script over and over again. So we have two different constructs called functions and procedures that we use to do exactly that.
