SETP
Syntax SETP number number 
 
Explanation Polar coordinates describe positions on the plane in terms of the distance from the turtle's home in the center of the Graphics window and the angle from 0 degrees. Polar coordinates measure degrees counter-clockwise from a 0 degree heading that is equivalent to 3 o'clock.

SETP sets the turtle's polar position. It takes two inputs: a distance and a polar angle. It aims the turtle at the specified polar heading and moves it forward the specified distance.
