type a Logo command followed by the number of steps. The command name and
the number of steps are separated by a single space.

command.

BACK - When you use the BACK command, the turtle moves back but the direction

of the turtle head remains the same. You can also type BK which is the short form
for BACK command.

RIGHT - The RIGHT command turns the turtle right or in the clockwise direction.

You need to mention the number of degrees by which you wont to rotate the turtle
head. The direction of the turtle head changes but the position of the turtle remains

the same. You can also type RT which is the short form for the RIGHT command.
