### forward
fd

#### forward number

The turtle moves forward by number steps, one step at a time. (If number is negative, the turtle moves backward.)

`fd 10` is equivalent to `repeat 10 [ jump 1 ]`. `fd 10.5` is equivalent to `repeat 10 [ jump 1 ] jump 0.5`.

If the turtle cannot move forward number steps because it is not permitted by the current topology the turtle will complete as many steps of 1 as it can, then stop.
