Backward
Ø
Left
Ø
Right
Ø
The turtle moves in Forward or Backward direction that it is facing. You may change the
direction by using Left or Right to an angle degree.

Quadrant 3 Quadrant 4

(–x, -y) 4(+x, –y)

Fig. 1.3
Please look at the above direction fig.1.3 and you will understand how to go about it.
Now let us see one simple example.
