Abstract

A collection of powerful ideas-description, plans, linearity, insertions, global knowledge and imperative semantics-are explored which are fundamental to debugging skill. To make these concepts precise, a computer monitor called MYCROFT is described that can debug elementary programs for drawing pictures. The programs are those written for LOGO turtles.
