This video shows a robot writing a fibonacci program using a recursive function. There are no sound in the video because I wanted the viewers to focus on what the robot is thinking while writing a software program.

In order to write software, the robot needs knowledge about computer science. He has to know about recursions, classes, methods, object-oriented programming, data types, string manipulation, etc. In addition to the knowledge, he has to know how to apply that knowledge to the current assignment.

In the video, the robot is using his knowledge about recursions and fibonacci numbers in order to do assignment 5. During the beginning stages, he has to brainstorm ideas and gather his thoughts. Using common sense he is able to link recursion with fibonacci numbers. He is able to fabricate a recursive function to generate sequence of fibonacci numbers.

If you look closely at assignment 5, there is no knowledge about what a fibonacci number is or how to create a program to generate sequential fibonacci numbers. The robot used logic and common sense in order to come up with the framework for the program.

The robot generates the linear steps in order to write the program. He follows his own guideline to write the software. For example, he does step1 first, which is to write the fibonacci function. Next, he does step2, which is to write the main body.
