<div>Another thing concerning the Programming Assignment. I ran
the program and see the shapes drawn, but I'm not too certain
about what to do next. The directions say "Now look at the
code itself," but I think that is where I am getting stuck
because I'm not sure what code I am looking at.</div>

Here are the two functions that I wrote...<br>
<br>
# This function draws a polygon <br>
def polygon(length_of_side, number_of_sides):<br>
for i in range (number_of_sides):<br>
turtle.forward(length_of_side)<br>
turtle.left(360/number_of_sides)<br>
<br>
# This function positions the turtle<br>
def position(x,y):<br>
turtle.penup()<br>
turtle.setposition(x,y)<br>
turtle.pendown()<br>
<br>
Later in the code you will see things like...<br>
<br>
position(100,100)<br>
polygon(100,5)<br>
<br>
<br>
If you compare these back to the two functions you will see that the
first of these<br>
sets the POSITION of the turtle in x and y coordinates. The second
of these draws<br>
a POLYGON with the first argument defining the size of the polygon
and the second one<br>
defining the number of sides.<br>
<br>
turtle.circle(100)<br>
<br>
is similar but only has one argument, the size of the circle.<br>
<br>
<br>
Your job is to change the arguments to the position, polygon, and
circle functions<br>
to meet the requirements of the exercise. <br>
<br>
For example -- try this<br>
<br>
position(125,-10)<br>
polygon(50,5)<br>
<br>
and see what happens to your pentagon.<br>
