please help. eyeball.

I’m a beginner and I’m having trouble understanding/using texture mapping. Below is the code for a sphere (from the Red Book). I simply want to color part of the sphere a differnt color. I’m trying to paint an eye. Do I need to use texture mapping? I’ve been trying to learn texture mapping, but I don’t see how to do what I want. Would you please add the code needed to the folling program. Thank you.
