7. Planning It’s good practice to plan before programming. Outcomes
Understand the use of distance and direction in letter code.
Design an algorithm to produce the letter H.
Create code that displays the letter H as a capital.
It’s good practice to plan before programming.
On the piece of paper given to you, you will see a plan for the letter H. This is “Pseudo Code”. Use it to help you draw out the letter H in turtle.
At some stages you come backwards, this is where the ‘turns’ appear larger.

8. Direction and Distance
