Description

This application is a simulation of a toy robot moving on a square tabletop.

Requirements

  • The table surface has dimensions of 5 units x 5 units
  • There are no other obstructions on the table surface
  • The robot is free to roam around the surface of the table, but must be prevented from falling
  • The toy robot must not fall off the table during movement, this also includes the initial placement of the toy robot
  • Commands that would cause the robot to fall should be ignored, subsequent valid commands must still be allowed
  • Input can be from a file, or from standard input, as the developer chooses

Commands

PLACE X, Y, F: This will put the toy robot on the table in position X,Y and facing NORTH, SOUTH, EAST or WEST. The first valid command to the robot is a PLACE command, after that, any sequence of commands may be issued, in any order, including another PLACE command. The application should ignore all commands in the sequence until a valid PLACE command has been executed. The origin (0,0) can be considered to be the SOUTH WEST most corner.

MOVE: This will move the toy robot one unit forward in the direction it is currently facing.

LEFT, RIGHT: These will rotate the robot 90 degrees in the specified direction without changing the position of the robot.

REPORT: This will announce the current position and facing; X,Y and F of the robot.
