COMMAND

What is it?

A command is a statement that initiates or begins a process.

Give me an example!

When you click on the "print" icon on your computer, you are giving your computer a command to initiate the process of "printing". There may be many commands involved in that process. When you have a number of commands together, we call it a program. When using LOGO, one command might be "FD 40". This tells the turtle to move forward 40 steps.
