 The first job of the scheduler is to allow multiple *subprograms* to be queued up for later execution. For our purposes, a subprogram is just a statement or sequence of statements in the context of a larger program. Consider the program below for counting button presses.

 The program above contains three statements that execute in order from top to bottom. 
 The first statement initializes the global variable `count` to zero.

 The second statement informs the scheduler that on each and every event of the **A** button being pressed, a subprogram (called the event handler) should be queued for execution. The event handler is contained within the braces `{...}`; it increments the global variable `count` by one.
