triangle is known as the turtle. It has a pen that draws figures on the screen. When you
give commands, the turtle moves on the Graphics Screen, leaving a line behind.
b. FD command moves the turtle forward in the direction in which it is pointing. Along with
FD command, you also need to tell how many steps the turtle should move.
c. In Commander Window, the Input Box is the place where you type the commands to do
tasks.
d. HOME command brings the turtle to its starting position, also called as home position.
The turtle’s home is at the centre of the Graphics Screen.
e. TIME command displays the current day, date and time in the Recall List Box. The time is
displayed in the 24-hour format.
f. (i) SETH and RIGHT
Both SETH and RIGHT commands rotate the turtle in a clockwise direction by the
specified angle. The only difference is that each time, when you use SETH command,
the turtle turns from its home position instead of the current position.
(ii) CLEARSCREEN and CLEAN
CLEARSCREEN command clears the figures drawn on the Graphics Screen and brings
the turtle back to its home position. CLEAN command also erases the drawing on
the Graphics Screen. However, it does not bring the turtle back to its home position.
The turtle remains at its previous position.
