This creative approach to learning C++ programming introduces readers to Karel the Robot and then shows them how to design programs that instruct Karel to perform complex tasks. Karel's world is essentially a practice field on which readers learn valuable lessons about creating and debugging program. The programs instruct the robot to move and manipulate its environment using object orientation.The Robot World.
Primitive Instructions and Simple Programs.
Extending the Robot Programming Language.
Conditionally Executing Instructions.
Instructions That Repeat.
Advanced Techniques for Robots.
