Karel++ Noob help

[sciguy125]

Ok, I just took a crash course in Karel++. That was the fastest I've ever learned a new language. For those of you who are wondering, it turns out that Karel++ is the language you would get if LOGO and C++ had a child that was raised by BASIC (not sure how that works, but that's what it looks like to me).

Karel++ doesn't have a "for" loop, but it does have "loop" loop.

loop(5)
{
  move(); //calls move() 5 times
}

I'm not sure if it supports non-void functions (or "instructions" as they seem to be called). All the examples I found don't take or return parameters in the functions. Because of the way the language is designed, I suspect that the following code might work, but I don't have Karel++, so I can't test it.

void movenum(n)
{
  loop(n)
  {
    move();
  }
}

Just as some general advice: Whenever possible, it's a good idea to make multipurpose code. Your example of using 15 separate functions works, but it's not very clean. If you wanted to expand it for some reason, you might have a hard time doing so because it only does one thing. It also makes it hard to read any code that uses those functions.
