Nested REPEAT

Objectives : In this lesson, students will learn about: 1.the concept of repeating a set of actions. 2.the syntax of command REPEAT. 3.the application of REPEAT in Logo programming.

Nested REPEAT
Prior knowledge : the application of commands FD, BK, RT, LT, CS Final product expected : draw the following figure with the command REPEAT 15 [FD 100 REPEAT 5 [FD 50 RT 144] BK 100 RT 24]

Nested REPEAT

REPEAT
The syntax : REPEAT # [xxx]
where # refer to a whole number, and xxx refer to a command.
FOR EXAMPLE FD 10 REPEAT 20 [FD 10] RT 10 REPEAT 18 [RT 10]
