1	Recursive Thinking Chapter 8 introduces the technique of recursive programming. As you have seen, recursive programming involves spotting smaller occurrences of a problem within the problem itself. This presentation gives an additional example, which is not in the book.
2	A Car Object To start the example, think about your favorite family car
3	A Car Object To start the example, think about your favorite family car
4	A Car Object To start the example, think about your favorite family car
5	A Car Object To start the example, think about your favorite family car
6	A Car Object To start the example, think about your favorite family car Imagine that the car is controlled by a radio signal from a computer
7	A Car Class To start the example, think about your favorite family car Imagine that the car is controlled by a radio signal from a computer The radio signals are generated by activating methods of a Car object
8	methods for the Car Class
9	The Constructor When we declare a Car and activate the constructor, the computer makes a radio link with a car that has a particular number.
10	The turnAround method When we activate turnAround, the computer signals the car to turn 180 degrees.
11	The move method When we activate move, the computer signals the car to move forward one foot.
12	The move method When we activate move, the computer signals the car to move forward one foot.
13	The isBlocked( ) method The isBlocked method detects barriers.

17	Your Mission Write a method which will move a Car forward until it reaches a barrier... ...then the car is turned around...
18	Your Mission Write a method which will move a Car forward until it reaches a barrier... ...then the car is turned around... ...and returned to its original location, facing the opposite way.
