Time Narration
00:01 Hello everybody.
00:02 Welcome to this tutorial on Grammar of TurtleScript in KTurtle.
00:08 In this tutorial, we will learn about
00:11 Grammar of Turtle script and 'if'-'else' condition
00:16 To record this tutorial I am using, Ubuntu Linux OS version. 12.04. KTurtle version. 0.8.1 beta.
00:29 We assume that you have basic working knowledge of KTurtle
00:35 If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website. http://spoken-tutorial.org
00:40 Let's open a new KTurtle Application.
00:43 Click on Dash home.
00:45 In the Search bar, type KTurtle.
00:49 Click on the KTurtle icon.
00:52 We can also open KTurtle using Terminal.
00:56 Press CTRL+ALT+T simultaneously to open the Terminal.
01:01 Type KTurtle and press enter to open the KTurtle Application.
01:08 Let's first look at TurtleScript
01:11 TurtleScript is a programming language
01:15 It has different types of words and symbols used for various purposes
01:21 It instructs Turtle what to do
01:25 Grammar of TurtleScript in KTurtle includes-
01:30 Comments
01:31 Commands
01:32 Numbers
01:33 Strings
01:34 Variables and
01:36 Boolean values
01:38 Now we will see where to store numbers
01:42 Numbers can be stored in
01:44 Mathematical operators
01:46 Comparison operators and
01:49 Variables
01:50 I will zoom the program text for clear view.
01:54 First let's look at variables.
01:57 Variables are words that start with ‘$’ sign, for example $a.
02:04 Variables are highlighted in purple color.
02:09 Using the assignment, equal to (=), a variable is given its content.
02:14 Variables can contain numbers $a=100.
02:20 strings $a=hello or
02:25 boolean values that is true or false $a=true
02:32 Variable keeps the content until program finishes execution or until it is reassigned to something else.
02:41 For example, consider the code.
02:44 Let us type,$a = 2004
02:50 $b = 25
02:55 print $a + $b
03:01 Variable 'a' is assigned a value 2004.
03:06 Variable 'b' is assigned a value 25
03:10 print command, commands Turtle to write something on the canvas.
03:15 print command, takes numbers and strings as input.
03:19 print $a + $b commands Turtle to add two values and display them on the canvas.
03:29 Let's Run the code in slow speed.
03:34 Value 2029 is displayed on the canvas
03.40 Let us next see the Mathematical Operators.
03:44 Mathematical operators include,
  • + (Addition)
  • - (Subtraction)
  • * (Multiplcation) and
  • / (Division)
03:53 I will clear the current code from editor and type clear command and RUN to clean the canvas
04:01 I already have a program in a text editor.
04:05 I will Explain the code now
04:08 “reset” command sets Turtle to its default position
04:12 canvassize 200,200 fixes the width and height of the canvas to 200 pixels each.
04:22 value 1+1 is assigned to the variable $add,
04:26 Value 20-5 is assigned to variable $subtract,
04:31 value 15 * 2 is be assigned to the variable $multiply.
04:36 30/30 is assigned to the variable $divide.
04:40 go 10,10 commands to Turtle to go 10 pixels left of canvas and 10 pixels from top of canvas
04:52 print command displays the varible on the canvas
04:56 I will copy the code from text editor and paste it into KTurtle editor.
05:03 Pause the tutorial and type the program into KTurtle editor.
05:08 Resume the tutorial after typing the program
05:13 Let us click on Run button to run the program
05:17 Command which is getting executed is highlighted on the editor.
05:22 Turtle displays the values on the canvas at the specified positions.
05:34 Let us consider a simple example for using comparison operator .


05:41 I will clear the current code from editor and type clear command and RUN to clean the canvas
05:49 I will zoom the progrm text to have clear view
05:53 Let's type
05:55 $answer = 10 > 3
06:03 print $answer
06:09 Here 10 is compared to 3 with the ’greater than’ operator.
06:14 The result of this comparison, the boolean value true is stored in the
06:19 variable $answer and the value true is displayed on the canvas.
06:27 Let's run the code now
06:29 Turtle displays Boolean value true on the canvas.
06:34 Now lets see how Strings work in this application –
06:39 Strings can be put in variables like numbers
06:43 Strings cannot be used in mathematical or comparison operators
06:49 Strings are highlighted in red color
06:53 KTurtle identifies a line in double quotes as a string
07:00 I will clear the current code from editor.type clear command and Run to clean the canvas
07:08 Now I will explain about Boolean values.
07:11 There are only two boolean values: true and false.
07:16 For example Let's type the code
07:20 $answer = 7<5
07:28 print $answer
07:34 Boolean value false is assigned to variable $answer because 7 is greater than 5
07:43 Let's Run the code now
07:47 Turtle diplays Boolean value false on the canvas.
07:51 Let's next learn about “if-else” conditon.
07:56 ‘if’ condition is executed only if the boolean value evaluates ‘true’
08:03 ‘else’ condition is executed only if the ‘if’ condition is ‘false’ .
08:09 I will clear the current code from editor.type clear command and Run to clean the canvas
08:17 I already have a code in a text file.
08:21 This code compares numbers 4 , 5 and 6 and displays the results accordingly on the canvas.
08:30 I will copy the code from text editor and paste it into KTurtle editor.
08:36 Pause the tutorial and type the program into your KTurtle editor.
08:42 Resume the tutorial after typing the program
08:46 Let's Run the code now
08:49 the Turtle has compared the values 4 and 5.
08:53 and has displayed the result 4 is smaller than 6 on the canvas .
09:00 With this we come to the end of this tutorial.
09:05 Let's summarize.
09:07 In this tutorial, we have learnt about
09:11 Grammar of Turtle script and
09:14 ‘if-else’ condition
09:17 Now to the assignment part.
09:19 Solve an equation using
09:22 if - else condition
09:24 Mathematical and comparision operators
09:27 Display the results using “print” and “go” commands.
09:33 To solve the assignment
09:35 Choose any four random numbers
09:38 Multiply two sets of random numbers
09:42 Compare the results using the comparison operators
09:46 Display both the results
09:49 Display greater result at the center of the canvas
09:54 You can choose any equation which you like.
