**Logo On The BBC Computer And Acorn Electron**

LOGO is a powerful computer language which encourages clear thinking and proven problem-solving techniques. Although initially developed for use by children, LOGO is not a 'toy' language; it is a powerful tool which can be used to exploit the full potential of the microcomputer. In addition to turtle graphics, it features list processing which in LOGO is easy to use and is a flexible and efficient way of handling information. Many business applications are also now being written in LOGO.

Acornsoft LOGO is a full implementation of the language and provides a comprehensive range of its features. It is a serious language which can be used for a wide variety of applications on the BBC and Electron computers as an easier to use and more powerful alternative to BASIC.

This book provides a complete guide to using LOGO on the BBC Computer and Acorn Electron. It begins by introducing the characteristics of LOGO and the 'jargon' of the language and then goes on to a full explanation of procedures, turtle graphics and list processing. Numerous examples of applications and suggestions for their further development are included throughout the text and these is also a section on debugging.
