Q1. Familiarizing with programming concepts

Your task is to “program” the self-driving car as shown in Figure 1 so it can drive itself to the destination (the green cell) in the shortest way and with the smallest number of instructions. The are 5 instructions that you can use to program the car:

 • LEFT – the car will turn left

• RIGHT – the car will turn right

• DRIVE – the car will move forward 1 cell if the cell is empty

• REVERSE– the car will move backward 1 cell if the cell is empty.

• REPEAT #N – repeat the command following the REPEAT command N times or until the car hits an obstacle or hits the wall. For example, REPEAT 5; DRIVE; will repeat the DRIVE command 5 times.

An example of how to write your program is given below. Note that you must follow the coding syntax.
