My autistic son would happily play in the park. Just once every few months he would decide that “now is the time to run” and just take off as fast as he could in a straight line. How would that play out in a busy street.
People can’t imagine that: so much of the time things are calm, straightforward to handle, but if EVER you let your guard down for a second at the wrong time, you’ll end up on the news as a “tragic story of grieving negligent parent.”

I have an exercise app that occasionally asks my overall mood, like “Have you recently felt overwhelmed?” Do you feel anxious a lot?"
I sent them feedback explaining that they never ask if there’s a good reason that I might be feeling down: I’ve variously had reason to think I might lose my job, nearly lost sight in one eye, nearly evacuated from wildfires, etc. Yes, I’ve felt “anxious a lot”!

COBOL is an old language Internet to make programs look a bit like English descriptions of what was needed.
I don’t really know it, but your code reminded me of the idea of it.
Don’t worry if your code is incorrect, just make random changes until you hit on something that no longer results in errors :)
