Your browser does not support Java for the moment. In order to use this page we strongle suggest that you go to the "Java Help" page. Please choose "Java_Help" in the small menu below. It's possible to use our page without Java but then you will have to download a Logo interpreter from our "Download" page.

Did you already know that your computer behaves a lot like Logo? He can understand commands and execute programs as well. Every game and all the other programs you have on your computer are written this way. Naturally the other programming languages are a lot more complex than the Logo language. There are for example commands painting whole windows on your screen.

For example the program that makes that Logo exists is written in Java. Java is a very modern programming language which allows you to run your program on any computer no matter which operating system you use.

Here I wrote you a very small Java program which will simply write a line on the screen.

public class helloWorld {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}

Then I took a screenshot of what happened on my screen when I ran the program.

The line C:\java helloWorld starts the program which write then Hello World! in the next line.

If you are interested in learning more about programming simply ask your teacher if he can help you or if there are programming classes at your school. The most simple languages after Logo would be Pascal or Basic. Another possibility would be Java which is more modern but more complicated as well.
