Karel will crash into a wall

1 answer

Let's analyze the code step by step, considering Karel's starting position and the commands given:

  1. Starting Position: Karel starts at Row 1, Column 1, facing East.
  2. Code Execution:
    • move(); → Karel moves to Row 1, Column 2.
    • putBall(); → Karel places a ball at Row 1, Column 2.
    • move(); → Karel moves to Row 1, Column 3.
    • move(); → Karel moves to Row 1, Column 4.
    • move(); → Karel moves to Row 1, Column 5.
    • move(); → Karel tries to move to Row 1, Column 6, but in a 5x5 world, Row 1, Column 6 is outside of the grid.

Since Karel would be attempting to move outside the boundaries of the world, this action would cause Karel to "crash into a wall" when it tries to move to Row 1, Column 6.

Thus, the correct answer is: Karel will crash into a wall.
