turtle.Turtle.distance¶

Turtle.distance(x, y=None)¶

Return the distance from the turtle to (x,y) in turtle step units.

Arguments: x – a number or a pair/vector of numbers or a turtle instance y – a number None None

call: distance(x, y) # two coordinates –or: distance((x, y)) # a pair (tuple) of coordinates –or: distance(vec) # e.g. as returned by pos() –or: distance(mypen) # where mypen is another turtle

Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle): >>> turtle.pos() (0.00, 0.00) >>> turtle.distance(30,40) 50.0 >>> pen = Turtle() >>> pen.forward(77) >>> turtle.distance(pen) 77.0
