    • while ask-concurrent
    • print write word
    • all? any?  count
    • hatch
  • Reading Assignment: Explore, in the dictionary, the NetLogo commands for input and out as well as the hatch command and agentset commands.  Read in the programmers guide about reporters.
  • New Algorithmics Concepts: iteration, Asymptotic complexity and the “big Oh” notation.
