An introduction to Karel J. Robot
Modified from A Gentle Introduction to the Art of Object-Oriented Programming in Java: Joseph Bergin, Mark Stehlik,
Jim Roberts, Richard Pattis
Karel J. Robot was created to provide a means of introducing novice programmers to
object-oriented programming (OOP). In object-oriented programming, a computation is
carried out by a set of interacting objects. Here, the objects are robots that exist
in a simple world.
