                  LOGO




                            MSW LOGO

                  MSW LOGO (Microsoft Windows LOGO or simply LOGO) is one of the easiest

                  computer languages. It had been designed to teach the basics and logic of

                  programming to the children. It is used for drawing figures, typing text and doing
                  arithmetic calculations. LOGO also stands for Logic Oriented Graphic Oriented.




                     PURE        LOGO was developed by a group of experts headed by Seymour
                     FACT        Papert of USA in the year 1967. LOGO is derived from the Greek
                                 word called Logos which means thought.

                           LOGO TURTLE

                  You use a pencil to draw and write in your notebook, LOGO                           Turtle

                  uses a special pen for drawing. This pen looks like a triangle                                 tail
                  which is called a turtle.

                  The top pointed end of the turtle is called its head. The wide base at the bottom
                  is called its tail. That’s why LOGO is also called the Turtle Language. When the

                  turtle moves on the screen, it leaves a trail behind it. This trail (line) makes a
                  drawing like a pen does. LOGO turtle lives in the centre of the screen which is

                  called its home.
