# speed up the turtle ( waiting is hard)
speed(10)

# setup

'''
# pen is up so we can set the position of the turtle
#
# the setposition command takes in two parameters
# which are the x and y coordinates of where the turtle
# should be placed on the canvas. For the x position
# we have inputed 50 + 50 / 2 because the circles radius
# must be 50 because of the instructions and we are two
# and one half circles away from the 0 coordiante. So one
# half of 50 + 50 is equal to how far away we must go on
# the x axis. This number is multiplied by negitive one
# so we can move to the left side of the canvas instead
# of the right side.
#
# the y axis position is simply - 200 because the size
# of the canvas is 400 x 400 with the dimensions of
# -200, -200, 200, 200.
#
# we then put our pen back down so we can start drawing
# this new position.
