Computational Thinking Basics

Follow the steps exactly

A robot does not guess. It runs each step exactly, even if a box blocks the way.

Loading lab…

Five steps were written for an empty floor. Nobody tested them with a box in the way.

Five fixed steps, tested on an empty floor.
Step 1 of 4
  1. Five fixed steps, tested on an empty floor.
  2. Steps 1 and 2 succeed.
  3. Step 3 meets a box it never saw.
  4. The plan breaks right there, at step 3.

Run each step exactly as written. See where it breaks.

To trace a plan is to run each step by hand.
