Definition (keystage 2)
A computer language.
Logo uses instructions such as "forward 40" (FD 40), "backward 20" (BK 20), "right 85" (RT 85) or "left 125" (LT 125), to create drawings. This ability to create graphics, combined with the power of a complete computer language, makes it interesting in mathematics education.
Logo is very closely related to LISP - the list processing language used in much early Artificial Intelligence research.
