Age 11 to 18
Challenge Level 
First Forward Into Logo
Previous: FF10
| Consider the following procedure which uses two variables:
(Warning - you may have to press HALT to stop this procedure.)
TO LOP :X :Y
PR :X
WAIT 120
LOP :Y :X + :Y
END
What do you think is happening this time?
Try 'chasing' through the procedure the values: x = 1 and y = 1.
No longer surprised!
Why do you think it goes on and on...?
Yes it keeps starting itself again, but with different variables,
moving on in the sequence by adding the last two variables.
Why not experiment further changing the fourth line?
For example:
LOP :Y :X +:Y*2
LOP :Y :X - :Y*2
LOP :Y :X * 2
Any surprises?
LOP :Y * 2 :X + :Y
Etc. Etc. Etc....
