Logo Programming Language Explained

Educational software –Logo

A day before writing this article my sister’s son asked me to help on solving the home assignments on his 5th grade computer science work book. The exercise is about drawing some graphics or some structural drawing like polygon, pentagon and much more. But the examples given in the particular lessons are really different than what I known till now. And afterwards I have found that this exercise is based on “ Logo” programming language . Have you ever heard before the language? Sorry I am not!

After doing some goggling I have found that, Logo is an procedural language built solely for educational systems to minimize the graphics dimensions with minimal effort. Logo programming language is much similar like “Basic” programming language (according to the structure) which is based on  very simplified approach .Being “Logo” programming language is designed for educational purposes most of the  school syllabus may use on their “computer   Technology” syllabus” especially for kids. So if you learn to work the programming , you can help your kids gets started ,then they will proceed better

Get working with “Logo” programming console requires separate console it can be downloaded from web. Based upon the operating system which you are using, you can download the software to get working with the programming language. Being a windows operating sytem user I have downloaded MSWLogo screen software from the softroix website which is the repository of software based on windows based platform. If you are using different operating system, then you can download the software for  “Logo “ programming language from Massachusetts Institute of Technology website page dedicated for “logo “programming language .

Working with the “Logo” programming language is much easier for those who even having little bit experience in the programming languages. If you want to startup tutorial about the language can be get from Mike Koss website. The working with MSWLogo console is pretty straightforward and simple to use you can view the screenshot of the MSWLogo working environment below.

Fig: MSWLogo working environment

Fig: MSWLogo working environment

Fig: MSWLogo working environment

MSWLogo working environment is segmented with two divisions

Working console –Where you have to feed the inputs (programming)

Output console – Where you can view the outputs (outcome of the your program)

For example you can draw the square using the following command

REPEAT 4 [FD 100 RT 90]

Immediately executed the above command I have got the output of the “Square” dimension in the output console .

Logo programming language is not limited with this type of “Squares” you can custom program according to the syntax of the programming. You can find the more examples from the reference links. I am stop talking here because of scope of this blog( I mean this blog is about money blogging niche) but I can talk more if I have the time ,but this time I can’t . Thank you and start programming on “Logo” best of luck .
