We want reactive systems to be responsive, which means to react in a timely manner to events. For example, when you play a computer game, its frustrating if you press a button to make a character jump, but it doesnt immediately jump. A delay in reacting, or lack of responsiveness , can be the difference between life and death, both in the real and virtual worlds.
Lets consider a simple example: you want to program your micro:bit to accurately count the number of times the A button has been pressed and continuously display the current count on the 5x5 [LED screen](/microbit/device/screen). Because the LED screen is small, we can only display one digit of a number at a time on it. The [show number](/microbit/reference/basic/show-number) function will scroll the digits of a number across the screen so you can read it.

The [show number](/reference/basic/show-number) function will scroll the digits of a number across the screen so you can read it.
Lets say that the current count is 42 and the number 42 is scrolling across the LED screen. This means there is some code executing to perform the scroll. So, what should happen if you press the A button during the scroll? It would be a bad idea to ignore the button press, so some code should record the occurrence of the button press. But we just said there already is code running in order to scroll the number 42! If we wait until the code scrolling the 42 has finished to look for a button press, we will miss the button press. We want to avoid this sort of unresponsiveness.
