Now the most basic way to start a coroutine is with the launch function. So we're going to start here on line nine, and we're just going to add a few markers for ourselves, by means of print line statements. So we're going to do starting, duplicate this, and then we're going to put stopping. Okay, and in between is where we'll handle our coroutine information. So first with the call to launch, this is how we're going to initiate our coroutine. Now let's just take a quick peek at the definition of this particular function.
