Next, it 🤖 takes the first task to finish (let's say, our "slow-file" 📝) and continues whatever it had to do with it.

    } else {
      Range<K> range = ranges.get(index);
      return range.contains(key) ? Maps.immutableEntry(range, values.get(index)) : null;
    }
  }

  @Override
  public Range<K> span() {
    if (ranges.isEmpty()) {
      throw new NoSuchElementException();
    }
    Range<K> firstRange = ranges.get(0);
    Range<K> lastRange = ranges.get(ranges.size() - 1);

This parameter must be something like a function.

You **don't call it** directly (don't add the parenthesis at the end), you just pass it as a parameter to `Depends()`.

And that function takes parameters in the same way that *path operation functions* do.

!!! tip
    You'll see what other "things", apart from functions, can be used as dependencies in the next chapter.
