Language Concepts § Basic commands § Control Structures § § § while condition [instruction list] until condition [instruction list ] repeat number [instruction list] § Recursion (preferred paradigm) § Scoping § Global variables: if not declared before use § Local variables: § may be declared § Input variables for functions are local
Basic commands § Forward 100 (FD 100) - moves the turtle forward 100 units § Back 50 (BK 50) - moves the turtle back 50 units § Right 45 (RT 45) - turns the turtle 45 degrees to the right § Left 90 (LT 90) - turns the turtle 90 degrees to the left § Home - Returns the turtle to its origin § Clear. Sceen (CS) - Erases the screen
Features § § § Graphics / Music Extensibles: basic operations “primitives. ” Working Definitions: allows for userdefined new definitions Modularity Interactivity Flexibility
Recursion § to spiral : size § if : size > 30 [stop] ; a condition stop fd : size rt 15 ; many lines of action spiral : size *1. 02 ; the tailend recursive call § end
