Using Logo to Solve Sommerville’s Algorithm for Adding Mixed Numbers
Ron Taylor
One of the important aspects of problem solving that we teach students is to look back at a successful solution and determine if the problem can be solved in another manner. What follows is just such an attempt. In this case, the essential algorithm, developed by Francis Sommerville (1987), has not been changed. The intention here is to show how the algorithm can be implemented in another language, Logo.
