It's the #HourOfCode this week. In our age of digitisation, knowing at least some basic things about computer programming has become a cultural technique that everyone should have acquired at some point.
One of the basic rules is: Computing proceeds step by step, and in order to save time, repetitive steps can be designed as loops - you can tell the computer to do certain steps again and again, until a certain condition is fulfilled (either a certain number of runs has been completed, or the computer runs out of data, or it has found what it was supposed to look for).
In today's Google Doodle, you can practice computer programming in a very easy way. By clicking symbols, you can combine certain steps and even loops to guide a little bunny towards all the tasty carrots. Try it, and have fun!

Actually, it's a 50-year anniversary:

Below you can see my results: I started out all right, but later I didn't reach the optimal solutions. Oh well, at least my bunny got its carrots in the end. ;-)
