simple turtle module code python 3.9.7 problem

I am testing out the turtle module and the commands are not working. I am on windows 10 and have downloaded python 3.9.7 Here is the code:

>>> import turtle
>>> t = turtle.pen()
>>> t.forward(50)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    t.forward(50)
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'forward'
>>>

This code opens the second window with the turtle display but it doesn't move forward and displays an error. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Solution

  • The correct syntax is:

    import turtle
t = turtle.Turtle() # create a Turtle and assign it to the variable "t"
t.forward(50)
