Can anyone help me with this. I'am trying to simulate a situation wherein the turtle will randomly sit on a bench (red patch) and if the bench is occupied it will find another one. 1 turtle: 1 patch
breed [kids kid]
breed [adults adult]
breed [oldies old]
kids-own [step]
adults-own [step]
oldies-own [step]
to setup
__clear-all-and-reset-ticks
ask patches [setup-world]
set-default-shape turtles "person"
create-kids number-of-kids
create-adults number-of-adults
create-oldies number-of-oldies
ask kids[
set color green
set size 1
setxy -10 0
set heading random-float 90
rt 45 - random-float 90]
ask adults[
set color orange
set size 1
setxy -10 0
set heading random-float 45
rt 45 - random-float 90]
to setup-world
set pcolor white
if ( pxcor = 10 ) and ( pycor < 10 and pycor > -11 ) [ set pcolor brown ]
if ( pxcor = -10 ) and ( pycor < 10 and pycor > 1 ) [ set pcolor brown ]
if ( pxcor = -10 ) and ( pycor < -1 and pycor > -11 ) [ set pcolor brown ]
if ( pycor = 10 ) and ( pxcor < 11 and pxcor > -11 ) [ set pcolor brown ]
if ( pycor = -10 ) and ( pxcor < 10 and pxcor > -11 ) [ set pcolor brown ]
if ( pxcor = 8 ) and ( pycor < 8 and pycor > 2 ) [ set pcolor red ]
if ( pxcor = 8 ) and ( pycor < -2 and pycor > -8 ) [ set pcolor red ]
end
to go
ask kids[
if pcolor = red and not any? other turtles-here[
move-to patch-here
stop]
fd 1
ifelse pcolor = red and any? other turtles-here
[rt random 90]
[fd 1]
]
ask adults[
if pcolor = red and not any? other turtles-here[
move-to patch-here
stop]
fd 1
ifelse pcolor = red and any? other turtles-here
[rt random 90]
[fd 1]
]
tick
end

you have already done most of the coding in the right way, I have tested your code and it works fine except your second condition in your go function for kids and adults.
One way to do the same thing is adding a turtle variable for example seated? Variable and make it false at initialization and make it true if the turtle is sitting on a bench. And only ask turtles with false seated? to look for another bench.
turtles-own [seated?]
ask kids with [not seated? ][
rt random 10
fd 1
if pcolor = red and not any? other turtles-here [
move-to patch-here
set seated? true]
]
ask adults with [not seated?]
[
rt random 10
fd 1
if pcolor = red and not any? other turtles-here[
move-to patch-here
set seated? true]
]
I have tested the code by showing number of turtles in each pacth and there was only one turtle per red patch
ask patches with [pcolor = red ][set plabel count turtles-here]
