This program has Karel walk to the stack of litter, pick it up, and then continue on her way. Notice the use of the for loop to make picking up the litter faster!
Exploration Questions:
- What happens when you change the number in the for loop?
- What happens when you un-indent the
take_ball()command? - What happens if you move the
move()command inside the for loop?

Karel's Built in Commands

UltraKarel commands
paint(color) |
UltraKarel conditions
random_chance() |
color_is(color) |
# Paints a square red. paint(color['red']) # Colors: color['red'] color['blue'] color['green'] color['yellow'] color['cyan'] color['orange'] color['white'] color['black'] color['gray'] color['purple'] # Determine if a square is a certain color if color_is(color['red']): move() Random # Returns true 50% of the time random_chance() # Returns true probability percentage of the time random_chance(probability) # Returns true 20% of the time. random_chance(0.2) # Example if random_chance(0.8): put_ball()
Functions
Writing a function is like teaching karel a new word.
Naming Functions: You can name your functions whatever you want, but you can't have spaces in the function name.
Remember that commands in functions must be indented one level
def turn_right(): turn_left() turn_left() turn_left() def turn_around(): turn_left() turn_left() def your_function_name(): # Code that will run when you make a call to # this function.
Calling a Function
You call a function to tell the computer to actually carry out the new command.
# Call the turnn_around() function once turn_around() # Call the turn_right() function 2 times turn_right() turn_right()
Conditional Statements
Remember that comands in conditional statements must be indented one level.if condition:
#code that will run if the condition is true
if condition:
#code that will run if the condition is true
else:
#code that will run if condition is not true
Example of if statements
if front_is_clear(): move() if balls_present(): take_ball() else: move()
Karel Conditions
Don't forget the() at the end!
front_is_clear() left_is_clear() right_is_clear() facing_north() facing_south() facing_east() facing_west() balls_present() |
front_is_blocked() left_is_blocked() right_is_blocked() not_facing_north() not_facing_south() not_facing_east() not_facing_west() no_balls_present() |
Loops
Remember that commands in a loop statement must be indented one level.While Loops
while CONDITION: # Code that will run while the CONDITION is true. # Once the CONDITION is no longer true, # it will stop.
Example of while loops
# This moves Karel to a wall while front_is_clear(): move()
For Loops
for i in range(COUNT): # Code that will run 'COUNT' times
Example of for loops
# This puts down 10 balls */ for i in range(10): put_ball()You can have multiple statements or function calls in a for loop.
# This puts down five balls and moves after each one for i in range(5): put_ball() move()
Use for-loops when you want to repeat something a fixed number of times.
Use while-loops when you want to repeat something as long as a condition is true.
