First Forward Into Logo 1: Square Five
Age 7 to 16
Challenge Level
Most of the Logo challenges do not have solutions because you will
know that your program is correct if it draws the required shapes.
In addition you could write different programs and still get the
desired result.
In this case we give below a very simple program. It has has many
repetitions and it could be made shorter and more elegant by using
a REPEAT command which will be introduced in the next section. Here
we give just a list of commands but we shall learn to give each
short program its own name and to use that name as a command to
start the program.
Note that the program is written here in small case letters rather
than capitals and most LOGO software allows either. It is good
practice to be consistent and stick to one or the other and we
generally use capitals because they are easier to read.
