How do you make Karel move to a specific coordinate (x,y) on the grid?

To successfully move Karel to a specific coordinate (x, y) on the grid, it is essential to implement a series of moves and turns based on the difference from Karel's current position. This method involves calculating how many units Karel needs to move in both the x and y directions to reach the desired coordinates.

By assessing the current position and determining the necessary movements, Karel will first move horizontally until reaching the correct x-coordinate and then make turns as needed to face the desired direction before moving vertically to reach the target y-coordinate. This systematic approach ensures that Karel accurately arrives at the specified point on the grid.

Other methods, like performing random moves and turns, do not guarantee that Karel will reach the specific target and could result in erratic movement. Likewise, a single move command would not be sufficient unless Karel is already at the target coordinates, and asking for user input introduces uncertainty into the process when the goal is to reach coordinates methodically.
