Variables with Turtle

Remember that in coding, variables are used to store information to be referenced and manipulated by a program.

In other words, variables let us give a name to something so you and the program can remember it and use it later.

Examples of variables include, score, points, lives, health, etc.

We can use variables in python turtle as well.

For example, we can define a variable the holds that value of an angle or a color, then draw a shape using the variable.

Practice

Draw the following follower using:

Sample code:

Notice the width is a variable
Try changing the value of the width variable and see how the follower changes to.

Improve the code by defining and using variables for the colors. Then, run the program with different values for the colors:

Example:

t.color(color1, color2)
