| declares the OnEnter() function. The token in front of it denotes its return type; in this case, it is ''void'', which you can think of to mean "nothing" or "empty" – it simply states that this function does not return any value (some functions you'll write //will// return a value, e.g., a result of some calculation). OnEnter() just does something (starts the fade in effect), but nothing is returned from it (you'll learn more about return values in the section on functions).\\ | declares the OnEnter() function.

| - | Everything that follows after that line is the //body// of the OnEnter() function. It is the function's body that defines what the function does. It is enclosed by ''{'' and ''}''. You can think of these symbols as of boundaries – they bound the space of the function body. Everything in between them belongs to the function. | + | Everything that follows after that line is the //body// of the OnEnter() function.
