(In a thick German accent with a heavy dose of sarcasm): Up until now, you've typed in your code and pushed a little magic button and your program gets compiled. But this is computer science; there's no such thing as magic. So we're going to study exactly what happens when you push that little magic button. If you are scared and want to deregister for this module now, you may be excused.
