### heading

This is a built-in turtle variable. It indicates the direction the turtle is facing. This is a number greater than or equal to 0 and less than 360. 0 is north, 90 is east, and so on. You can set this variable to make a turtle turn.

See also right, left, dx, dy.

Example:

    set heading 45      ;; turtle is now facing northeast
    set heading heading + 10 ;; same effect as "rt 10"
