No magic, no wizardry: code is a recipe the machine follows line by line, in order. If the order is wrong, the dish is ruined. Put the recipe back in order. 👇

Order changes everything
🍳 A machine doesn't think: it runs the steps in the written order. Drag the lines to make an omelette that makes sense (from start to finish).
🎯 That's exactly what coding is. You write simple steps, and the machine follows them in order, guessing nothing. "Crack the eggs" BEFORE "pour into the pan", otherwise it makes no sense. A program is a very, very precise recipe. Nothing to fear: if the order is off, you rearrange it, like here.
What this teaches you
A recipe, not a mystery
📋 Steps, one by one
Code is a list of instructions. The machine reads the 1st, then the 2nd… always top to bottom.
🔢 Order is king
Swap two steps and the result changes. The machine "corrects" nothing on its own — it obeys.
Check that you got it
2 quick questions
1. Code is mostly…
Right: a recipe. Simple steps, followed one by one.
2. If you swap two steps…
Right: the machine doesn't correct. The order you write is the order it follows.
What to remember
Code = a sequence of instructions, read top to bottom.
The machine obeys the written order; it guesses nothing.
An ordering bug gets rearranged — no need to panic.
